Out of Their Own Mouths: An Elective Course for Young People on The Religions of the World (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781678181390)

Is there a place for another book on the world's religions? An increased interest in world affairs carries with it an increased interest in the ways and thoughts of the world's peoples. To feed this interest there is room for many books. This book differs from others in two respects: It is more concerned with the actual effects of each religion in daily life than with its origins or scriptures or philosophies. Yet, necessarily, in dealing with the outer workings the "inner works" must be touched here and there. Again, each religion is allowed to interpret itself through one of its own adherents. "Out of their own mouths" they speak. This of course raises many difficult questions many of which are purposely left unanswered in order to stimulate discussion in the groups of young people and others in which the book is intended to be used. Is non-Christian the same as unchristian? Is Jesus Christ, in his person and program, the light coming into the world that lighteth every man? If these two questions are satisfactorily and interestingly answered in this little book, it may fairly ask for a half inch of space on the bookshelf of the growing Christian and a larger space in his hand and heart.
