Jesus Among Secular Gods - Bible Study Book

by Ravi Zacharias, Vince Vitale

Jesus Among Secular Gods Bible Study Book includes six small-group sessions, applicable Scripture, a leader guide, “How to Use This Study,” and personal-study content and activities.

As belief in the secular gods of atheism, hedonism, relativism, and humanism continues to grow, it’s more important than ever for believers to be able to defend and share the claims of Christ. Of course, this clash of worldviews is nothing new. Throughout Paul’s writing in the New Testament are references to elemental forces that seek to separate believers from the love and truth of Jesus.

Not only has the Christian worldview been devalued and dismissed by modern culture, but its believers are also openly ridiculed as irrelevant. This six-session Bible study challenges the popular and trending philosophies of the day, skillfully pointing out the fallacies in their claims and presenting compelling evidence for absolute truth as found in Jesus and revealed in Scripture.

This study helps seekers explore the claims of Christ and provides Christians with the knowledge to articulate their faith that Jesus stands tall above all other gods.

[Lea Sims · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best book on addressing secular ideologies I've ever read. Read this and did the workbook in a small group setting, and the way Zacharias and Vitale present the Christian narrative in contrast to prevailing secular ideologies of our modern culture is a MUST READ FOR ALL CHRISTIANS. There is an increasing urgency for the church to be able to respond with an intellectual argument for theism in general and for God/Christ specifically. The book comes with weekly conversational goals and a conversation guide that will help you navigate the waters of deep-dive conversations with skeptics and critics, something most Christians avoid because of the fear of being unable to defend their faith in a way that is intellectually compelling. GET THIS BOOK.

Important. Intelligent. Interesting. The first, but certainly not last book I’ve read by Ravi.
