The Bible and Other Faiths: What Does the Lord Require of Us?

How can we understand religions and the way they affect human beings? What is God doing among people of different faiths?

How do Jesus’ great commandments (Matthew 22:34–40) and great commission (Matthew 28:16–20) relate to people of other religions—and to places of inter-religious conflict?

In today’s world, when Christians think about other religions, numerous questions and issues arise—and their convictions about Christ and about other religions can have a significant influence on their understanding of how God relates to people, and what their own conduct towards them should be.

From her wealth of inter-cultural and inter-faith experience, Ida Glaser believes that the most urgent questions for Christians focus on their own responsibilities and other peoples’ welfare. Responding to Micah 6:8—‘And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God’—Dr. Glaser explores biblical perspectives on other faiths and their adherents, with clarity, sensitivity, and challenging insights for all Christians.
