Around the world...
There seem to be quite a few books here on Amazon without adequate descriptions. This is basically a course prepared for 11-12th graders, designed to introduce them to the people and practices of the world's major religions. The student's text includes a chapter on eleven of the world's largest religions including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism, to name a few. Each chapter has a glossary and word pronunciations to help students with new terms. The text also includes an overview of basic questions that religions address. Good resource for the classroom!

Textbook
This exact book is a requirement for a theology course at Walsingham Academy. It arrived in perfect condition, almost as quick as buying in the store, except someone else drove. I am buying more online than ever--the technology is maturing. I would rather sit in my den than drive through all sorts of weather--with no guarantee the book will be there when I arrive.
The book is an excellent text for comparative religions. I believe we should all make some attempt to be more understanding and accepting
Thank you Amazon
