Religions in Focus engages with the religious lives of members of
some of the most significant religions today. It presents religions
as contemporary ways of life that motivate and inspire people.
Because religious people refer to sacred texts, honour the founders
of their religions, learn from elders, or mould their lives
according to authoritative teachings, Religions in Focus explains
the relationship between tradition and contemporary practice. It
offers an introduction to religions that is rooted in the best
scholarship of the Study of Religions and provides a secure
foundation for further study. A team of Religious Studies scholars
from many countries, all skilled communicators about the
contemporary religions with which they are thoroughly familiar,
introduce what it means to live as a religious person today. They
insist that however old or young these religions may be, what is
most interesting is the ways in which people express them today.
This is not a history of religions but an insightful introduction
to living religions. A guide to further study and a companion
website will point to ways of building on knowledge gained in
studying this book, and applying skills developed in studying
people's religious lives.
