Product Details

In this book, an international group of expert scholars sympathetically discuss the world’s major religious traditions (including Buddhism, Baha’i, and Jainism) and new religious movements. The contributing editors include Diana L. Eck, Robert Kisala, Nicholas de Lange, Mikael Rothstein, Lamin O. Sanneh, Garry W. Trompf, and Linda Woodhead.

According to Thomas W. Goodhue, a reporter for The United Methodist Reporter Interactive, "...Introduction to World Religions is a stunning achievement: a sweeping survey of how humanity has experienced the divine in myriad ways, across the centuries and around the globe. It is not the be-all and end-all of comparative religion, but it is a very good place to start." He goes on to say that "..the concluding essays on religion in the modern world are themselves worth the book's price, offering succinct explorations of ways in which existentialism, postmodernism, and globalization are challenging religious traditions."
