In this brief volume in IVP Academic's Introductions in Seven Sentences, philosopher Douglas Groothuis creatively uses a single sentence representing each of several world religions as a way to open readers to their depth and complexity, including: Atheism: "God Is Dead." Judaism: "I Am Who I Am." Hinduism: "You Are That." Buddhism: "Life Is Suffering." Daoism: "The Dao That Can Be Spoken Is Not the Eternal Dao." Christianity: "Before Abraham Was, I Am." Islam: "There Is One God, and Mohammad Is His Prophet." With a sympathetic but not uncritical approach, Groothuis welcomes readers to a vital and global conversation. The accessible primers in the Introductions in Seven Sentences collection act as brief introductions to an academic field, with simple organization: seven key sentences that give readers a birds-eye view of an entire discipline.
