How the World Works: Religion
For the faithful, religion remains a guiding force for every aspect of life. Knowledge of the world’s major religions is important for our understanding of history, and of today’s complex global community. Beautifully illustrated, Religion introduces the six most dominant world faiths, explaining the origins, philosophies, and evolutions of these incredibly influential belief systems. It explores topics such as Israel and the early history of the Jewish people; the expansion of Islam and the rise of Islamic empires; colonialism and the impact of Christian missionaries; anti- Semitism and the Holocaust; the ancient and enduring traditions of Hinduism in India; Sikh emigration in the 20th century; and the growth of Buddhism in the West. Short biographies of important figures, detailed maps, helpful statistics, and a comprehensive timeline help to trace the history of these religions from their foundation to the present day. Topics include: • The Crusades • The Palestinian/Israeli conflict • The Reformation in Europe • The Holocaust • The Shi’a and Sunni divide • The life of Buddha • The Hare Krishna movement • Guru Nanak and the spiritual teaching of Sikhism.
