Religions and the Bible: Study Notes

February 18, 2010 – 2:16 pm

Last fall, I did a series on Religions and the Bible for our campus ministry at Wayne State University in Midtown Detroit. The series looked at the basic beliefs of other faiths and compared them with the Scriptures.

I posted my notes on our campus ministry blog, and thought they may be a help to others who would like a basic overview of another religion in trying to witness to someone. Here are the religions we covered with links to the notes:
