Christians know that other religions exist! Those seeking to reach out with the gospel are acutely aware that most people they interact with cross-culturally already have prior religious commitments (even if only to the ‘gods’ of secularism). But what exactly are other religions – what does the Bible say that they are? Will their ‘other’ religiosity be a barrier or an opportunity to introducing Jesus? What attitude and approach should the Christian adopt towards the reality of the religious ‘other’? And might recurring religious aspirations actually become helpful in pointing people towards Christ?
