“Ronald Knox once quipped that ‘the study of comparative religions is the best way to become comparatively religious.’ The reason, as G. K. Chesterton says, is that, according to most ‘scholars’ of comparative religion, ‘Christianity and Buddhism are very much alike, especially Buddhism.’
“But any Christian who does apologetics must think about comparative religions because the most popular of all objections against the claims of Christianity today comes from this field. The objection is not that Christianity is not true but that it is not the truth; not that it is a false religion but that it is only a religion. The world is a big place, the objector reasons; ‘different strokes for different folks’. How insufferably narrow-minded to claim that Christianity is the one true religion! God just has to be more open-minded than that.”
In a recent commentary, Peter Kreeft, Ph.D. (professor of philosophy at Boston College, author, and speaker), reflected on Christianity (especially Catholicism) and its relationship to other religions.
