Product Description

"World Religions in Practice" introduces five of the world's great religions - Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - and explores how they are lived and expressed in custom, ritual, and symbol. It is a major new textbook that explores the world's great religions through their customs, rituals and everyday practices - by focusing on this 'lived experience' it goes beyond many traditional introductions to religious studies. It adopts a directly comparative approach to develop a greater understanding of the nature of religion. Each chapter engages with an individual theme, such as birth, death, food, pilgrimage and ethics, to illustrate how religious practices are expressed. It broadens students' understanding by offering an impartial discussion of the similarities and differences between each religion. It includes chapter-by-chapter opening themes and summaries, and will be accompanied by a website featuring additional resources and study questions.
