From the rear cover
'This book is the best, brief description available currently of the origins, tenets, and ways of worship of the world's great religions aimed at beginning students. T. Patrick Burke writes in a clear and easily understandable style that will help the reader go back to it regularly to grasp the essentials of faith and its role in the society.' Murray Friedman, Temple University
'The book sets out to provide an introduction to the world's major religions, but it accomplishes its goal so successfully as to serve as an invitation for us to study them.' Arvind Sharma, Mcgill University
This popular introduction to the world's religions provides a comprehensive survey of the major religious traditions together with selected primary readings. The text focuses on the beliefs and values that animate each religion, helping students to understand what makes them meaningful to their followers.

- Additional material on each religion's ethics and their encounter with the modern world
- Improved visual design, with extensive student aids including revised maps, timeline, and charts
