Overview

The Wise Men and the Unknown God recounts the personal pilgrimage of a Christ-Follower from the East to the West, exploring God's redemptive revelations outside the boundaries of Christian tradition. In this rollercoaster ride through six major world religions, we encounter a variety of symbols that seem to point, incredibly, to the God of the Bible. From Hindu avatars and Buddhist bodhisattvas to Sikh gurus, Muslim prophets, and the Jewish messiah, the author takes us across the world to consider how different religions attempt to answer the deep longing for a savior-figure within every human heart. Ideal for personal reading and small group studies, this book serves both as an introductory course on world religions and an inspirational book for personal spiritual growth.
