About This Item
New York: Doubleday, 1994. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. First editiomn, first printing. Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 625 pp. with bibliography and reading list, index. Religion, one of the oldest human activities, has presented so many seemingly incomprehrnsible beliefs, laws, rituals, and terminologies that a guidebook such as this, presenting a rich trove of information in concise, readable format, is an invaulable tool for information and understanding. Here the reader will find detailed narrative histories of the six great religious traditions---Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam--along with information about related traditions such as Shinto, Sikism, Confusianism, Gnosticism, Bahai, Zoroastrianism, and the many disparate elements that comepose the New Age.
