Providing detailed descriptions of the beliefs, rituals, history,
and organization of the world's eight major religious traditions,
including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism,
Confucianism, Taoism, and Shinto, this fully revised and updated
edition is an easytouse comparative guide for anyone seeking basic
religious literacy. Clearly and eloquently written by a scholar
with more than 40 years of study and teaching experience, The Handy
Religion Answer Book is organized into chapters on each major
religion and contains a wealth of information about their history,
beliefs, symbols, membership, leaders, observances, and customs.
The reference answers more than 800 questions, such as What is the
significance of the Star of David? How did so many different
Christian churches come into being? What is the importance of the
month of Ramadan? What is an Ayatollah? and Do Taoists believe in
heaven and hell?, as well as new questions concerning religion and
violence and suborganizations that claim affiliation with the major
faith communities. A glossary of religious terminology, maps of the
general coverage areas for each religion, and suggestions for
further reading are also included.
