Jesus Among Secular Gods - Bible Study Book

Jesus Among Secular Gods Bible Study Book includes six small-group sessions, applicable Scripture, a leader guide, “How to Use This Study,” and personal-study content and activities.

As belief in the secular gods of atheism, hedonism, relativism, and humanism continues to grow, it’s more important than ever for believers to be able to defend and share the claims of Christ. Of course, this clash of worldviews is nothing new. Throughout Paul’s writing in the New Testament are references to elemental forces that seek to separate believers from the love and truth of Jesus.

Not only has the Christian worldview been devalued and dismissed by modern culture, but its believers are also openly ridiculed as irrelevant. This six-session Bible study challenges the popular and trending philosophies of the day, skillfully pointing out the fallacies in their claims and presenting compelling evidence for absolute truth as found in Jesus and revealed in Scripture.

This study helps seekers explore the claims of Christ and provides Christians with the knowledge to articulate their faith that Jesus stands tall above all other gods.

Ravi Zacharias (1946-2020) spent 48 years commending the Christian faith and addressing life’s great existential questions of origin, meaning, morality, and destiny with eloquence and grace. He fully believed the truth of Jesus Christ can endure the toughest critiques and philosophical attacks. He authored or edited over 25 books in the fields of theology, apologetics, comparative religion, and philosophy.

Vince Vitale is the director of the Zacharias Institute. He was educated at Princeton University and the University of Oxford, and he later taught philosophy of religion as a faculty member at both universities. He is the author of Why Suffering? Finding Meaning and Comfort When Life Doesn’t Make Sense and Jesus Among Secular Gods: The Countercultural Claims of Christ. Vince also has an interest in the intersection of faith and sport. He played varsity soccer at Princeton and was a double blue at Oxford (competing for the university in soccer and boxing). Vince speaks about the Christian faith and regularly takes questions and answers regularly on university campuses and in church and conference settings. He is married to Jo, who also works with RZIM as the dean of studies for the Zacharias Institute.
