Two Ways to Live

Two Ways to Live is the gospel presentation on which Introducing God is based. The Introducing God/Two Ways to Live structure, logic and propositions are presented in relational terms. People have said "Introducing God is Two Ways to Live set to music", or "Two Ways to Live set to relationship".

Simply Christianity

Simply Christianity is an overview of Luke's gospel, differing from the Biblical metanarrative that Introducing God follows. Compared to Introducing God, Simply Christianity is pitched at a modernist audience. For example, the first session is a major explanation of proof of the reliability of the Bible.

Alpha

Alpha begins with an assumption that the audience is more “Christianised” than Introducing God does.

One host who has co-ordinated several Alpha courses in the past made the following comment:

One of the big differences I am noting between Introducing God and Alpha is the difference in focus. Alpha is really the basics of Christianity: God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Bible, Church, Prayer, evangelism ... Introducing God introduces us to God and Jesus from the Bible. It means that the talking time in the groups is far more "God"-centred than about church or prayer etc.

Introducing God is more for those who are not Christian at all where as Alpha can work for those who are on the fringes of church or those who have been at church and need to understand the basics. I think that it would also mean that those converted at Introducing God will need to have follow up in the basics like 7 Basic Bible Studies/Just For Starters. It is the follow up that didn't work so well when I did Alpha as people wanted more of Alpha with the meal aspect and the talking about all sorts of things and not the bible. Introducing God flows more easily into bible study.

Christianity Explored

Christianity Explored is based on Mark's gospel rather than Biblical Theology. It has the same emphasis as Introducing God on sin and atonement. Introducing God starts with people who are further from the kingdom than Christianity Explored does. Some have used Christianity Explored as a follow on from Introducing God.
