World Religions: A Snapshot

I was happy to find this course since an important part of "loving my neighbour" is being prepared to share my faith with people from diverse backgrounds. Joe Heschmeyer is an engaging presenter, and the content is worthwhile, especially if you just want a quick but meaningful overview of the major religions. I found particularly helpful the explanation of the difference between faith and religion, the lessons on the four witnesses (which are relevant to any evangelistic encounter) and clarification on what the Church teaches about how we should view non-Christian religions. I would love to see a follow up course (or other resource) that goes more in-depth on the specific areas of different religions that we can have conversations around (e.g., what might a Catholic say to a Buddhist about the value and meaning of suffering, or how best to discuss the concept of eternal life with someone who is wary of the idea of living endlessly) as well as one on the distinctive beliefs of various Protestant denominations. Really enjoyed this, thanks!

I learned so much and the presentation was excellent. I would have liked to have learn more about Islam and its teachings (maybe an additional 10 minute video on this?). Thanks so much!

I thought the content was fantastic and exactly what I expected. I loved the origins were explained, along with the distinctions within the religions or philosophies.

5 stars.

Great summary of major world religions and how christians can use them for evangelization or apologetics

Enjoyable
