Grand Central Question: answering the Critical Concerns of the Major Worldviews
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
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.

Grand Central Question is fantastic! I am so impressed at both the personal experience and depth of study that Abdu brings to the table. He takes the biggest life questions and provides insightful, provocative answers. I am thrilled and honored to endorse a book that will equip and challenge so many people.
--Sean McDowell, speaker, educator and author of Is God Just a Human Invention?
An attorney by training, Abdu Murray keenly recognizes, as Jesus’ own ministry unveiled, that often there is a deeper question and motive behind a question, and ‘until the heart is open, the e ars remain closed.’ He soberly reminds us that truth is costly--and sometimes it costs us dearly, as Abdu’s own journey reveals. Here you will find a wise and gentle voice who truly understands the doubter and skeptic. Abdu has wrestled with the claims of truth made by many worldviews and shows how the gospel is utterly unique and beautiful. I enthusiastically recommend his work.
--Ravi Zacharias, author and speaker
Grand Central Question is a very informed and well-written tour of important worldview topics. The book’s unique strength resides in its fruitful interaction with Islam. I highly recommend it.
