Christianity and other Faiths
Nearly 75 percent of the world's population practices one of the six most influential religions of the world: Christianity (2.1 billion), Hinduism (900 million), Buddhism (376 million), Chinese Traditional Religions (390 million), Judaism (14 million), and Islam (1.3 billion). For Christians, encountering the faiths of the other 2/3rds of the planet helps us better understand ourselves and what we believe. Each week of this course we will explore how Christianity aligns with and differs from these influential spiritual perspective faiths, how we are similar, and where we diverge.
