This review is from: The God of the Bible and Other Gods: Is the Christian God Unique Among World Religions? (Paperback)
Most of the comparison is between Christian faiths. I was hoping to see more on some of the other world religions in comparison.

This review is from: The God of the Bible and Other Gods: Is the Christian God Unique Among World Religions? (Paperback)
I gave this book 4 stars, but if an option for half-stars existed, I would have rated this book 4.5 stars. The beginning and majority of the book is actually a Christian apologetic, with the end of the book being the world religions comparison that the title states. The book is clear and concise. The book also includes a very useful chart comparing by topic Christianity and some major cults and world religions. Most chapters are 4 stars; The chapter "The Work of the God of the Bible in Salvation" and the chapter "The God of the Bible and Other 'Gods'" are both 5 star chapters.

This book really captures the essence of God. It is very thorough, touching on all the major points. It gives an excellent understanding to some very complex subjects. It is easy to read and very powerful.
