Finally—A Systematic Theology Guide to Other Religions
What do Jewish people believe? What do Muslims believe? Do you have answers ready for a Mormon or a Jehovah's Witness? If you've ever wished other religions had systematic theology resources like Christianity does, your wish has been granted.
What Do They Believe? provides an accurate, systematic examination of major Western religions using their own authoritative sources—not just Christian critiques. Written by Matt Slick, this comprehensive resource helps you understand what others truly believe on their own terms.
What Makes This Book Different:
Most books on world religions critique beliefs from a Christian perspective. This book takes a different approach: it systematically explains what each religion actually teaches using their own accepted sources and authorities. The result? You'll gain genuine understanding—not just talking points.
Expert Endorsement:
"I was glued to your description of Islam and its teaching and kept reading and reading. Well done—you are an excellent writer and a researcher. I have read many books on Islam (at least 40 books or so, mostly in Arabic), and I can testify that the subject is well researched."
— Michael Abd El-Massih, Founder and Executive Director of Arabic Bible Outreach Ministry
Six Essential Doctrines Examined:
Each religion is analyzed through the same systematic framework:
- View of Authority – What scriptures or sources does the religion consider authoritative? How were they received?
- View of God – What is the nature and character of God? How do they view the Trinity or Godhead?
- View of Jesus Christ – Is Jesus divine? Human? A prophet? How does each religion understand His role?
- View of Sin – What is man's spiritual condition? Are we born spiritually dead, neutral, or good?
- View of Salvation – How does one attain eternal life? Is it by works, faith, or something else?
- View of Eternal State – What happens after death? What are their concepts of heaven, hell, and final judgment?
