Publisher's Synopsis
MANY OF US value our own religion, but know little and care even less about other religions. To facilitate much needed religious literacy and mutual-understanding, this book succinctly examines the main features of all living religions-how they were formed and what they have become, how they are similar and how they differ, and what we can do to better appreciate and respect religions other than our own.
EACH CHAPTER IS short, informative, and easy-to-read. Together, these chapters provide a good understanding of the basic beliefs of all religions and their main sects. They also provide a valuable perspective on religious unity, diversity, and interaction, setting the stage for open-minded interfaith dialogue and respectful mutual acceptance of all religions.
