Customer Reviews for Thomas Nelson Jesus Among Other Gods Softcover

Thomas Nelson Jesus Among Other Gods Softcover

No such thing as absolute truth? Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias' work is a brilliant defense of the unique truth of the Christian message. Exposing the futility of Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, he also highlights his own journey from despair and meaninglessness to the discovery that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

This is the first book I have read from this author and I was truly amazed at how thought out this book was. It was great to see Christianity defended from someone who grew up in a totally different culture where God was not common place. This type of book helps me reaffirm my beliefs.
And to honest, there were several places in the book that lost me, for various reasons, but at the end of the day, I realized that there were many things within this book that I could take away with me and use in my everyday life. I think that this book could be for everyone, Christian or non-christian.

Answers questions Christians may face when some say "All religions lead to God, so why do we try to change what people believe?" An in depth exploration honoring Christ.

Ravi continues to amaze me with his heartfelt and incredibly intellectual defense for Christianity. He breaks down every single point for everyone to understand his arguments and does so with such a humble attitude. Ravi addresses so many of the questions and arguments against Jesus in a thorough and precise manner. GET THIS BOOK!

In a world where acceptance and tolerance means denying Christ,"Jesus among other Gods" makes it clear as to why Christians must make a stand for truth.

Excellent book. Not what I expected,but an insightful look at the claims of Jesus. Exactly who did he say he was? And then comparisons with other religions. Well written and thought provoking. Provided a fresh perspective on the gospels and Christ.

I haven't completely finished this book yet, but I do enjoy the keen insight to his words and wisdom. His testimony is impeccable, and his knowledge is inscrutable. Truly, a keeper for apologetics and knowledge for the Christian who needs help to defend an honest faith.

I wouldn't read this book if I were you. I wonder how old he was when he wrote this. He was terribly dishonest in this book. He claims that people who believe in the Biblical doctrine of a young earth also believe the earth is flat and that the young earth creationists never quote any verses to support there theory. Lie! This book is a great example of what happens when you let vain philosophy poison your mind. He does a poor job presenting his case for anything or refuting the other side. The description on the back of the book barley describes what's in the book. I was really disappointed.

A very good read with some good meat in it. Ravi is a very well studied person with the heartfelt and sincere Apologetic that is needed in defending the Christian faith. If you take this book to read as a start in Apologetics it may not be what you are looking for. However, it all boils down to what is true and what is not. This book I feel is centered more on Christian philosophy versus post-modern Apologetics that we need to reach those that cling to relativism . All in all a very good book that will get you thinking and give you some views on Islam and Hinduism and Buddhism. It should be in you collection for pre-evangelistic reference.

Dr.Ravi is not just philosophical he is a sound Apologist, and I find his book meaningful to my statement of faith. As a South African his book has helped me a lot in terms of Contextualising the Message of the Cross.

At first, Ravi's book was hard to follow. However, the more one ponders the words of Dr. Zacharias, the more they are able to see the wisdom and insite that they contain. This book might not be the best choice for an introduction to apologetics, but it is certainly an eventual must read.

Although Ravi Zacharias is a fine apologist, I cannot agree that he is the best philosophical apologist in the world, as a previous reviewer stated. Many of his arguments are not even strictly rational ones, but ones that appeal to the intuition and the emotion, and other subjective aspects of thinking. In contrast I submit that the best living apologist is probably Vincent Cheung. His strictly rational and biblical approach is unrivaled and invincible. I recommend reading his PRESUPPOSITIONAL CONFRONTATIONS and ULTIMATE QUESTIONS, available from his web site. Also, try Bahnsen's ALWAYS READY, available here at Christianbook.com.

Ravi Zacharias is possibly the finest philosophical Christian apologist in the world, and after reading this book, I believe most people would agree with me.The chapter answering the question, "Is God the Source of My Suffering?" is possibly the most thorough, comprehensive response I've ever encountered to this question, and is a must-read for any and all Christians!

Ravi Zacharias has both an excellent mind and a profound love for Jesus Christ. JESUS AMONG OTHER GODS requires concentrated, focused reading but it is well worth it. If you can possibly see the accompanying video, the visuals of followers of Eastern religions have wonderful impact. He places Jesus in the context of this very troubled, complex world. One of the very best books I have ever read (and I'm 65!) As I read, I had to work, but I wanted to comprehend what was in this man's mind. It was worth it.
