Inside World Religions

Category : Religions
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"The living faith of millions of people in the world's most important religious traditions is portrayed here with sympathy and intelligence, in each case emphasizing key elements.

Covering six major traditions-Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, together with shorter sections on Zoroastrianism, Baha'i, Confucianism, Taoism, and Shinto - the author follows the same pattern for each." "O'Donnell asks the reader to join in a spiritual exercise, personalizing the insights of each tradition into one's own journey of faith. Illustrated throughout with full color photography, Inside World Religions invites the reader on a journey of encounter and self-discovery."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Confused by the varying religious views in your workplace, neighborhood, even your family? Check out the Handbook of World Religions-contrasting 50 faiths with Christianity.

Describing these alternate viewpoints fairly and non-judgmentally, the Handbook of World Religions features major world faiths (Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism), Christian-based religions (Mormonism, the Unification Church, Christian Science), traditional religions (African, Chinese, Native American), and various hard-to-categorize beliefs (Gnosticism, Hare Krishna, New Age Spirituality, Rastafarianism, Wicca). This fully-illustrated guide is a fascinating and useful tool to help Christians understand others' beliefs.
