Illustrated Guide to World Religions

Description

Any cultural system of predetermined actions and rituals, doctrines, sacred sites, codes of conduct, or institutions that connect people to the supernatural or transcendent is referred to as a religion. According to anthropologist Clifford Geertz, religions connect mankind to a cosmic "order of life." But there is no scholarly agreement on the precise definition of religion. In order to give readers a fundamental overview of the multiplicity of world religions, World Religions investigates the frequently at-odds ideas and interpretations of spiritual and historical issues. This book is a praiseworthy attempt to bring the essence of all the main world faiths under one roof clearly and concisely. The book is an excellent resource for the average reader who seeks first-hand information on several world faiths. The book Introduction to World Religions encourages a deeper awareness of the world's religions, their commonalities, and their history of peaceful coexistence. It strongly emphasizes increased understanding and peaceful coexistence of all faiths.
