Full Description

Experiencing the World's Religions helps students understand the practices and beliefs of the major religions, at a time when the world is rife with sectarian conflicts and statistics show that Americans are seeking spiritual experience more than ever. By beginning each chapter with personal encounters with people of diverse faiths he has met in his extensive travels, noted religious scholar Michael Molloy brings alive how religions shape both individuals and cultures. In vivid illustrations, Molloy also delves into the art and architecture, celebrations and rituals of the major religions, enriching students' appreciation of the wide-ranging scope of faith and religious practices. This text is written in an exciting and thought-provoking style, like that of the best travel writers, so that students feel as if they are experiencing the world's religions firsthand.
