World Religions in Seven Sentences with Dr. Doug Groothuis

I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST

What if more Christians dedicated time to learning about other religions? How could this strengthen our faith along with our ability to share the Gospel? Renowned Christian apologist and philosopher, Dr. Doug Groothuis, joins Frank to discuss the inspiration behind his latest book, 'World Religions in Seven Sentences,' along with the core beliefs of today's major world religions—one sentence at a time. Together, they’ll tackle questions like:

  • What are the seven sentences that represent each world religion, and why did Doug choose them?
  • What makes Friedrich Nietzsche the "quintessential atheist"?
  • Should atheism be classified as a religion? And what typically happens when atheism and Marxism collide?
  • What are some of the key differences between Hinduism and Buddhism?
  • What's the connection between Nietzsche, Pol Pot, Ted Bundy, and human depravity?
  • Why do some people choose to be atheists?
  • What happened when Doug encountered a Hinda guru at the age of 18?
  • How do Judaism and Islam differ in their relationship to Christianity?

If exploring diverse faith systems seems overwhelming, 'World Religions in Seven Sentences' is the perfect guide to get started. Tune in as Frank and Doug reveal how false religions often lead to human suffering and why Christianity alone is the solution to the problem of evil in the world!
