Description
The main aim of this book is to indicate the nature and range of reference material available for the study of world religions. A broad interpretation of world religions has been adopted and coverage includes the Baha'i faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism and Zoroastrianism, as well as cross-cultural studies and inter-faith dialogue. Following the basic pattern of the "Keyguides" series, the work is divided into three sections: an overview of the subject and available literature is followed by an annotated bibliography of over 1000 entries and an international directory of organizations.
