The Cabana Chronicles - John B Bartholomew - Bog

WE LEARN BEST THROUGH STORIES AND JOHN BARTHOLOMEW HAS A STORY TO TELL THAT WILL INTEREST YOU. The story is told in discussions he held with a group of retirees when they met each week under a beach cabana on South Padre Island, Texas to study theology and compare religions. Theology is not a discipline reserved only for theologians. Everyone has a theology, a concept of who God is and how he relates to us; the challenge is to have the right one. It is important to get our theology right because a true understanding of God must accompany true belief. Our theology also serves to guide us through our lives. Comparing Christianity to other religions and defending it against the attacks of unbelievers, an exercise called apologetics, is an effective way to study theology. That may be the very reason why apologetics is currently surging in popularity. The opinions of apologists C. S. Lewis, Dr. R. C. Sproul, Dr. Peter Kreeft, and others framed the group's discussion of the doctrines of the Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist and non-denominational churches. The group also discussed the differences between the Christian doctrine and the beliefs of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints, aka the Mormon Church. This book is one of three books which comprise "The Cabana Chronicles" series of stand-alone books which compare Christianity with various other religions. Like the other two books in the series, it is written in a dialogue format which is designed to effectively draw the reader into an informative and entertaining conversation.
