In this brief volume in IVP Academic's Introductions in Seven Sentences, philosopher Douglas Groothuis creatively uses a single sentence representing each of several world religions as a way to open readers to their depth and complexity, including:
- Atheism: "God Is Dead."
- Judaism: "I Am Who I Am."
- Hinduism: "You Are That."
- Buddhism: "Life Is Suffering."
- Daoism: "The Dao That Can Be Spoken Is Not the Eternal Dao."
- Christianity: "Before Abraham Was, I Am."
- Islam: "There Is One God, and Mohammad Is His Prophet."
With a sympathetic but not uncritical approach, Groothuis welcomes readers to a vital and global conversation.
The accessible primers in the Introductions in Seven Sentences collection act as brief introductions to an academic field, with simple organization: seven key sentences that give readers a birds-eye view of an entire discipline.
