Description
A Guide to Religious Thought and Practices devotes a chapter to each of the world religions, all but one of which are written by a member of that faith community. Readers thus gain insiders views into the theology, spirituality, and religious practice of each faith. The introduction encourages respect and engagement with those of other faiths. The book emphasizes the cultural nature of religion and its importance to society, and it notes the rise of interest in the study of religious traditions in the face of contemporary geopolitics.
