520 _aGuiding you from the Americans to Africa, India, China, and Japan, Warren Matthews's World Religions is a journey of discovery-introducing you to the profound ideas and practices of religions around the world. The author combines sound scholarship with a clarity and readability that is unique to studies of world religion. Each chapter in this book is organized so that the particular religion being discussed can be outlined, analyzed, and compared with other religions. Beginning with in-depth historical material, every chapter also includes a "Worldview" section. Unique to this book, these popular, reviewer-praised "worldviews" summarized each religion's view of the Absolute, human, life after death, etc. , giving you a solid basis for comparison. - Back page.
