"Praying" is the second in a series of books that offer Christians
a new way of understanding what it means to live and worship among
America's many faiths, and introduces them to the religions that
make up the American neighborhood. "Praying" will explore public,
family, and individual worship in Judaism, Islam, Hinduism,
Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Baha'i, Zoroastrianism, American
indigenous spiritualities, Chinese spiritualities (Confucianism,
Taoism), Shinto, and Afro-Caribbean religions. Praying answers and
discusses questions such as these: How does your religion
understand/measure the passage of time: daily, weekly, annually,
over the course of a lifetime? What is the vocabulary of ritual and
practice in your religion? (e.g., worship, prayer, meditation,
pilgrimage, feasting and fasting) Is there a distinction between
public and private/individual worship/practice in your religion?
What are this religion's most distinctive practices? What makes
them so significant? "Praying "includes a quick guide to each
religion, a glossary, and recommended reading.
