Any suggestions for good reading material on the major world religions from a Christian apologetic perspective?
Has anyone written a book yet comparing the presuppositions of the major world religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism) with Christianity from a Vantillian perspective? If not, why not?

You might want to check out A World of Difference by Ken Samples. He compares a few of the religions you mentioned via world view tests.

I took a class from Prof. Samples last semester (World Religions and Science). He is reformed and knows his stuff. He was a friend of Greg Bahnsen's, even though he told us he wouldn't necessarily agree with everything Bahnsen believed.Originally Posted by jpfrench81
His book (A World of Difference) is worth checking out.

Winfried Corduan's Neighboring Faiths I find quite helpful. It is not Van Tillian and I too wonder why there seems to be nothing out there.

I went to Christ Reformeds Academy where Dr Sample taught on "Jesus and the Other Religious Faces in the Crowd." He's excellent. You can listen to his podcast on the church website.I took a class from Prof. Samples last semester (World Religions and Science). He is reformed and knows his stuff.

“No…we are all priests. Your vocation and your contentment in your vocation should not be dependent upon your being in vocational ministry or in being a figure of public acclaim. If God wills that fine…if He does not do that, you ought to still do what he has granted you to do to the glory of God.”
