Beware of Philosophy: A Warning to Biblical Scholars Norman L. Geisler Introduction The exhortation of the apostle Paul to "beware of philosophy" (Col. 2:8) is as urgent today as it was in the first century, if not more so.

Thinking Biblically About the World’s Religions By Kenneth Richard Samples All over the globe, billions of people adhere to a variety of different belief systems. Ten major non-Christian world religions abound today: Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shintoism, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism.1 The so-called minor religions are too numerous to count (e.g., various
