Course Overview
Our culture increasingly insists that all religions are equally true, equally valid, and simply different paths up the same mountain. To claim otherwise is often labelled arrogant, intolerant, or divisive. Beneath this appealing rhetoric of harmony lies a profound contradiction. Mutually exclusive truth claims cannot all be true at the same time.

Religious pluralism does not merely promote tolerance. It quietly redefines truth itself. In doing so, it empties the gospel of its meaning, reduces Jesus to one spiritual option among many, and replaces repentance and redemption with personal preference.

This course will equip you to:
  • Understand what religious pluralism claims and why it fails logically, historically, and spiritually.
  • Hear first hand testimonies from former adherents of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam, examined through a clear framework.
  • Examine the foundational figures and teachings of major world religions in light of their own claims.
  • Articulate, with clarity and humility, why the Christian gospel is not merely true for us, but true for all.

This course is for those who want to think clearly and faithfully about Christianity’s truth claims in a pluralistic world. Together, we will expose the false promise that all paths lead to God and rediscover the radical clarity of the gospel.
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”
(John 14:6, NIV UK)
