As out planet continues to shrink rapidly under the impact of technology, transportation, and immigration, American Christians are now having daily contact with religions which once seemed to represent only far away places with strange sounding names. Consequently, while once it may have been proper for only theologians interested in the exotic to concern themselves with such beliefs, today every American, certainly every American Christian, needs at least a basic understanding of these “foreign” faiths and several that have sprouted in the United States.

Steve Russo has written an excellent book for just this purpose. They Can’t All Be Right. Written for the layman in only 145 pages, Russo first addresses the very common attitude, Don’t all religions really lead to God? His second chapter discusses what it means to be a Christian. The following eight chapters discuss eight current religions: Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Mormonism, New Age, Wicca, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Satanism.

The last two chapters ask, What will you do with Jesus?, and How do I tell my friends in other religions about Jesus?

The book is $9.99 and should be available at or through your local Christian book store or online at www.broadmanholman.com and then search for Russo.

Every American, especially our youngsters, need balanced information about other religions.
