The Popular Encyclopedia of World Religions: A User-Friendly Guide to Their Beliefs, History, and Impact on Our World Today
History books focus on political or economic developments and usually pay scant attention to religion. Books on world religions repay the compliment and, by and large, ignore history. But history is more than a collection of dates. There is a context. There is a culture, a civilization, and that means values. At this point, history and religion intersect. The fact is these other cultures and civilizations are all around us. Let us get acquainted with our new neighbors in the global village and learn to love them. This book is an endeavor to make a small contribution to the village dialogue through historic and religious information.
