 Who is Jesus?

Dr. George Braswell is available to serve for a limited time as teaching minister in a church in partnership with the World Religions and Global Cultures Center of Campbell University Divinity School.  A series of teaching training sessions can be offered on the following topics:

1. “Who do Hindus say Jesus is? A Christian Response”
2. “Who do Buddhists say Jesus is? A Christian Response”
3. “Who do Muslims say Jesus is? A Christian Response”
4. “Who do Mormons say Jesus is? A Christian Response”
5. “Who do Jehovah’s Witnesses say Jesus is? A Christian Response”

Worldwide there are 1.6 billion Muslims, 1 billion Hindus, 500 million Buddhists, 15 million Mormons, and 8 million Jehovah’s Witnesses.  From 1975 to 2005, Muslims grew from 12% to 23% of the global population. In the last year, Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses outgrew Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and Roman Catholics. In fact, Mormons are challenging Southern Baptists to be the largest non-Catholic religious community. 

Closer home, followers of these religions have become missionaries in our communities, building temples, mosques, churches, and kingdom halls. They talk about Jesus and lay claims to Him, but who do they say He is? And how might Christians respond to their teachings? 

Schedule your Wednesday evening, Sunday evening, or Sunday school series today. Prepare your church to understand its religiously diverse neighbors.

Endorsement of the Center

We support the Center both financially and through the participation of our members because we have been touched by its work, both as individuals and as a congregation.”
