Synopses & Reviews
You’ve heard it said, “All religions are equal.” But do you know how to respond?
Tolerance imagines all religions as spokes of one wheel, spinning everyone together in harmony with God. Christ Among Other gods shows how this wheel simply doesn’t hold up.
Walking you through a study of Christ—from his birth to his promised second coming—pastor and scholar Erwin W. Lutzer presents Jesus as He is: the only way of salvation. Learn how to:
- Describe the uniqueness of Christ
- Defend the claims of Christianity
- Debunk the myths that many tout
The tensions between tolerance and truth are growing, as are the challenges of representing Christ in today’s world. Christ Among Other gods will help you understand and navigate these challenges. It gives you the facts you need to counter the claims of false religions with the truth of Christ. And what is more, it will help you fall more in love with Jesus, the only way, truth, and life.
Review
This is a refreshing contemporary defense of the uniqueness of Christ against the background of our pluralistic society! If you want to understand Christ better, defend Him with more confidence, and worship Him with more single-mindedness, this book is for you!
-Josh McDowell, Josh McDowell Ministries
Every so often a book is written that is must reading . . . this is one of them. It is clear, forceful, and incredibly relevant to the spiritual morass of today's society. I commend it fully.
-Adrian Rogers, Pastor, Bellevue Baptist Church
This is not a book about ecumenism or syncretism, but about Jesus Christ, the One who can not be compared with other "e;gods."e; Lutzer does a marvelous job, in a most readable manner, of reminding the open-minded seeker of truth that it is not "e;Jesus the Greatest"e; but "e;Jesus the Only."e;
-D. James Kennedy, PhD., Senior Minister, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church
I buy every book Erwin Lutzer writes. He makes me think . . . and act! Christ Among Other gods puts the Lord Jesus in His place. He is prominent, powerful, and precious about all other gods. This is Lutzer at his Christ-exalting best!
-O.S. Hawkins, Pastor, First Baptist Church, Dallas
At last, a positive defense of the truth of Christian uniqueness that is accessible to the average reader. No longer can we assume that the Christian claims are understood or accepted as "e;givens"e; even in our own evangelical circles, and Dr. Lutzer doesn't take anything for granted. Serious in its research, probing in its arguments, reasonable in its treatment of objections, and warm in its devotion to Christ . . . must reading for every pastor or layperson committed to communicating Christ as the world's only hope.
-Michael Horton, Christians United for Reformation
I highly recommend this book for non-Christians who wish to understand why the Christian faith is different and cannot be successfully amalagated with other religions. But I recommend this book even more for every concerned Christian who desires to know how to defend his or her faith in an increasingly pluralistic and tolerant culture.

Synopsis
Next time someone claims all religions teach the same basic truths, how will you respond? Here's the factual support you need to defend the primacy of Christ and counter the assertions of Buddha, Krishna, Bahaulah, and Zoroaster. Easily accessible, absorbing answers to the tough questions searching minds are likely to ask.
Synopsis
Challenging the claim that no religion can be superior to another and the popular movement to unite all religions, Lutzer explains that religion is not a wheel whose varied religions are spokes that ultimately lead to the same peace and harmony at the core. As the author confronts these myths, he brings readers face-to-face with Jesus Christ, our only intercessor.
