Description

This contributed volume examines in detail the major Western religious traditions, namely Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, Islam, and religions of the ancient world. The text traces each tradition in depth from its origins, through its development, to the religion's meaning and practice
in today's society. Comprehensive and accessible, the new third edition offers a thorough and engaging introduction to the Western faiths.
