Religion has massively impacted humanity throughout our history, for better and for worse. Religion has served as the inspiration for charity and kindness, but also the justification for war and torture. It has inspired billions of people throughout their lives and is unparalleled in its influence on the world and the human mind.
But how much do you really know about the history of the world’s most influential religions? And how much of what you don’t know is causing you to misunderstand the world around you every single day?
Here is a preview of what you will find inside this
A not so educated summary of some religions with a very western perspective. I am disappointed and wonder if any thorough research was done in order to create this booklet. Not worth the read, not even as a summary, Wikipedia would do a better job.
The author of this book has provided a great overview of the major religions. The book is divided into many parts. Each part provides the reader with a short description of a major historical religion. For the amount of material needing to be covered each subject is given a fair treatment. This is not a book I would purchase if I wanted an in depth look into any particular religion. However, if you just want a quick read that gives you some insight into the religions of our world I would recommend this book.
