ACROSS BELIEFS / FOUR STARTING POINTS

Understand deeply. Witness clearly.

Start with a person, not a label. Explore the questions that matter, with each tradition’s own texts open beside Scripture.

JESUS · GOD · THE CROSS

Christianity & Islam

Who is God? Who is Jesus? How are we forgiven? Explore twelve questions about the Christian truth and Islamic perspective, with Scripture and the relevant Qur’anic passages beside each answer.

REASON · MORALITY · MEANING

Christianity & secular thought

Explore the positive claims people make about a life without religious belief. Humanism is one starting point, not a label for every nonreligious person.

SUFFERING · EIGHTFOLD PATH · RELEASE

Christianity & Buddhism

Begin with two early Buddhist discourses: suffering, craving, not-self and release. Read these particular texts closely; ask your neighbour which tradition and teachers they follow.

SELF · ACTION · REFUGE

Christianity & Hinduism

A focused encounter with the Bhagavad Gita: the enduring self, action and refuge in Krishna. This devotional reading is a starting point; ask which texts and interpretations your neighbour trusts.

These are focused introductions. Ask which texts, teachers and interpretations your neighbour trusts. Read in context. Let the person tell you what they believe.

Conviction with an open Bible. Scripture first. Reformed convictions. Sources you can examine.

Rooted in Scripture. Open for discovery.

A place to read slowly, ask deeply, and follow the connections. Scripture, study and the voices of Christian history, brought together for a lifetime of learning.
