Series
3 – World Religions
Using
The Simple Guides’ rigorous but friendly approach to presenting
information, this third series gives the general reader an informed and very accessible overview of the world’s main
religions and ethical traditions. The series is also ideally suited to teachers and students
involved in the study of comparative religions in today’s
multi-cultural environment.
Each
title, where appropriate, covers the following topics:
Origins,
History, Founder, Aims, Teaching & Doctrines, Myths, Practices –
Popular / Ascetic / Monastic – Priesthood & Laity; Holy Places
& Sacred Sites; Pilgrimages & Places of Worship; Ritual, Liturgy
& Sacred Texts; Gods, Deities & Sacred Figures.
Because
of its overarching importance to the Judo-Christian traditions, a Simple
Guide to the Hebrew Bible is also included in this series.
Note:
All authors have been selected for their knowledge as practitioners or
scholars (or both) and for their skills as writers and communicators.
All
titles are illustrated and indexed.
