For believers and skeptics alike, A Doubter's Guide to World
Religions introduces the five major world religions so that you can
explore their similarities and differences in a fair and engaging
way. The world is a very religious place. Wherever you look, people
are worshipping, praying, believing, following, even dying for
their faith. But what does it mean to be religious? Are all
religions the same? Do they all call on the same God simply using
different names? Are their beliefs and practices simply cultural
expressions of the same spiritual longings? Written by historian
and theologian John Dickson in his characteristically engaging
style, this book presents each of the world's five major systems of
faith, carefully outlining the history, doctrines, beliefs, and
spiritual practices of: Hinduism ("The Way of Release") Buddhism
("The Way of Enlightenment") Judaism ("The Way of the Torah")
Christianity ("The Way of the Christ") Islam ("The Way of
Submission") In his own words, Dickson acts as an art curator in a
gallery, presenting each of these "works of art" in their best
light and letting each have their say. Along the way, he
demonstrates the importance of religion in general-to society and
to individual believers-and addresses many of the universal
questions that all of these serious and ancient religions ask: Who
are we? What is our worth? How should we live? Are we alone? At the
end of each section is a bibliography of helpful books and websites
for those who are interested in learning even more.
