Opis

The ideal primer on world religions, "Exploring the Major Faiths" is an introduction to the five most significant religious movements - Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. These are the faith traditions that have shaped human history, societies, cultures, indeed entire civilizations.
The "Book of Religions" is an unbiased presentation of the major faiths, one that introduces readers to the prime characteristics and distinctive features of each. It takes a broad view to include all the essential and important elements of each religion.
"Exploring the Major Faiths" organizes the diverse doctrines and practices of these exotic religious traditions into a format that allows readers to compare similar aspects of different faiths. The book presents each religion with eight standard chapters: Introduction, Beliefs, History, Scripture, Practices, View, Features, and Vocabulary.
This new fourth edition of the Book of Religions includes illustrations, comparison charts, a glossary of religious terms, sample scriptures and prayers for each faith, and individual vocabularies for each religion.
