In a world filled with different religions and spiritual beliefs, the Christian claim that Jesus Christ is the only way to God can sound narrow-minded or even intolerant. Aren’t all religions simply different paths to the same God? What about sincere Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, and others who seek to live good and moral lives? And what about people who have never even heard about Jesus?
These are important questions. Christianity does not teach that Jesus is merely one helpful spiritual teacher among many. Jesus Himself declared, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). His apostles likewise proclaimed that salvation is found in no one else (Acts 4:12). According to the Bible, our greatest problem is not that we have chosen the wrong religious path, but that our sin has separated us from a holy God—and Jesus is the one Savior who provided the remedy by dying for our sins and rising from the grave.
So why is faith in Jesus necessary for salvation? What about those who follow other religions? What happens to people who have never heard the gospel? And how can Christians explain these truths without being arrogant or unloving? The resources below address these questions and explain why the exclusivity of Jesus Christ is not a message of intolerance, but an extraordinary message of God’s love and salvation offered to people everywhere.

• “The New Testament authors stole details for Jesus’s life story from religions that were around long before Christianity!”

EVOLUTION—Following the Evidence: Fossils, DNA, and the Question of Origins
Where did we come from? For more than 150 years, the theory of Darwinian evolution has been presented as the scientific explanation for the origin and diversity of life. From school textbooks to nature documentaries, it is often described as settled science. But is it? In this clear and engaging investigation, Charlie Campbell examines some of the most important lines of evidence related to origins—fossils, DNA, biological complexity, natural selection, and human uniqueness—and asks a simple but profound question: What best explains what we actually observe? Rather than asking readers to ignore science, this book invites them to look more closely at it. Along the way, it explores whether the evidence more naturally fits an unguided evolutionary process, or the idea of intentional design by a Creator. Each chapter is written in an accessible, step-by-step style, helping readers follow the reasoning without requiring a scientific background. The goal is not confusion or controversy, but clarity. Whether you are a committed Christian, a skeptic, or simply curious, this book encourages you to think carefully about one of life’s biggest questions—and to follow the evidence wherever it leads.
