About This Study

---

As Christians living in the 21st century, we are faced with increasing religious diversity and religious competition. In this ever-shrinking world, people in cults and other religions may be showing up on your doorstep, at your job, or maybe even in your own family. You might be wondering, How can I possibly always be prepared to give an answer (1 Peter 3:15)?

We should take our cue from the apostle Paul who skillfully employed his knowledge of pagan philosophies to evangelize unbelievers (Acts 17:16–34). To witness in today’s world, Christians need a basic understanding of what cults and religions teach, so they can know how to relate to people in various religious groups.
