Expands students' understanding of their own religious history and practice by examining other religions of the world. Each religion is introduced with a brief history, and explored through each religion's scripture or major writings, beliefs and practices, and sacred spaces and times.
My husband found this textbook at the local library booksale. It's an interesting overview of different faiths and beliefs, though as the 1999 edition by now probably a bit outdated, especially in regards to more recent historical events tied to religion. Nonetheless, it was worth reading.
