this is an excellent book dealing with the various religious beliefs most of us will encounter.
Concise, Accurate, Overview of Numerous Religions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I teach a course on world religions and cults at the Calvary Chapel Bible College in Murrieta, CA. SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE is a great introductory book for the person who wants to learn about the origin and teachings of religions like: -Islam -Mormonism -Jehovah's Witnesses -Hinduism -Buddhism -Roman Catholicism -New Age Movement The author is a Christian and does not hide that fact. Chapter after chapter, he clearly lays out what the differences are between each religion and Biblical Christianity. This book will be very helpful to you, especially if you are a Christian, wanting to lovingly share with people with other religions. I highly recommend it.
Very informative

If you want to understand the differences between Christianity and most other religions you must read this book. I wish in some chapters it gave more detail but it provides references for more information.
Straightforward analysis from a Christian Perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Given the other reviews, I'll preface by saying this book barely scratchs the surface of answering the question the title poses. However, given that most Americans don't even take the time to scratch the surface of anything more than a mosquito bite, this book is a great, if simple, introduction to the answer. I always wondered the answer to the question this book approaches. Mr. Ridenour does a fantastic job of explaining these differences from a clearly Christian perspective. He starts with a clear identification of the Baseline for comparison (that is Protestant Christianity). He then proceeds to distinguish that baseline from Catholism, then on to other major world religions. I think every high school student should read this book before college. If you've missed that mark, go ahead and read it now! If this spurs your interest, and you really want to know more about other religions, read the writings that are central to those religions. IE. the Bible, the Koran, the Books of Mormon, etc. See for yourself what they say about themselves.
I agree...A Great Witnessing Tool!

I used this book when I was in highschool to witness to my now husband of 13 years who was a Catholic at the time. He wanted to know the differences between our faiths. It helped him come to the decision that he needed to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is not indepth, but it just touches the surface of many of the world's religions and is written with a Christian perspective. Someone who is not opened to believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God may have a hard time accepting the truths in this book. It is a great witnessing tool for the Christian to have available in their own libraries to give to individuals who are on the verge of believing. I highly recommend it.
