Class Description: This CITE L3 class introduces participants to the major religions of the world and how the light of Christ helps shape our understanding of them. This class is designed to better equip followers of Jesus to disciple others, especially those who come from a variety of religions from around the world and many of whom are now our neighbors. As we learn about these religious beliefs, we will also be reminded of the distinctiveness found in following Jesus and His teaching. The class is perfect for those engaging in short-term mission work to various parts of the world and who are looking to better understand and evangelize their neighbors from the world religions.
