What is Religion? (Paperback)

We all know what religion is - or do we?
This wide-ranging introduction to religion explores what religion is, based around a thematic and non-confessional exploration of the six major traditions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Sikhism. It examines contemporary global religious practice, as well as exploring philosophy and religion, the impact of science on religion and the appeal of alternatives such as humanism, communism and new age movements.
An ideal text for undergraduate introductory religion courses, What is Religion? offers a fresh perspective on the perennial human questions of ritual, faith, ethics and salvation.
Themes covered include: rituals, scriptures, women, liberation, confessing a murder, other belief systems, the existence of God and the future of religion.
