All religions and worldviews seek to answer the fundamental questions of human existence. But the main worldviews each tend to stress a different issue. Abdu Murray, a lawyer and former Muslim, digs deeply into secular humanism, pantheism and theism (specifically in the form of Islam), comparing each to the central message of Jesus.

All religions and worldviews seek to answer the fundamental questions of human existence: Why am I here? What does it mean to be human? Why is there evil in the world and how do we deal with it? But not every worldview places equal emphasis on each issue. The main worldviews each tend to stress a different central question.
Secular humanism focuses on: What is the inherent value of human beings?
Pantheism emphasizes: How do we escape suffering?
Islam?s main concern is: How is God great?
Abdu Murray digs deeply into these three representatives of major worldviews of our day: secular humanism, pantheism and theism (specifically in the form of Islam). This lawyer and former Muslim brings compassion, understanding and clarity to his analysis, comparing the answers of each view to the central message of Christianity.

Abdu H. Murray (J.D., University of Michigan) is a co-founder and the president of Embrace the Truth International. He has been a featured guest on numerous national and international television programs, including Newswatch, Jesus or Muhammad? on the Aramaic Broadcasting Network, and SRN News, Eye Opener.
