Book Description

February 2, 2009
The Subcommittee on the Catechism (formerly the Ad Hoc Committee to Oversee the Use of the Catechism), has judged that the text falls outside the scope of the types of materials they review for conformity to the Catechism.*

The third edition of this highly acclaimed text continues to help young people unlock the doors to 11 of the world's major religious traditions. Updated references highlighting recent events in the history of the traditions, 50 new images, and revised chapter on Sikhism help eleventh and twelfth graders understand the people, dimensions, and religious principles of the world's major religions.

*The Subcommittee on the Catechism reviews only materials which are catechetical in nature and which teach the beliefs, practices, and doctrine of the Catholic Faith. World Religions falls outside the scope of the types of materials the Committee reviews. This text outlines the basic beliefs and practices of the major religions of the world, taking a comparative approach, as do most texts on this topic, to identify the distinctive elements of the various religions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Around the world..., July 27, 2008
There seem to be quite a few books here on Amazon without adequate descriptions. This is basically a course prepared for 11-12th graders, designed to introduce them to the people and practices of the world's major religions. The student's text includes a chapter on eleven of the world's largest religions including Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism, to name a few. Each chapter has a glossary and word pronunciations to help students with new terms. The text also includes an overview of basic questions that religions address. Good resource for the classroom!

5.0 out of 5 stars A top pick for any with curiosity in the religious views of the world, December 15, 2009
This review is from: World Religions (2009): A Voyage of Discovery, Third Edition (Paperback)
What people believe is a bedrock of who they are. "World Religions: A Voyage of Discovery" looks the many faiths of the world, ranging from the most primal religions of our prehistoric ancestors, to the gods of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, to modern Christianity and Islam. Profoundly educational with many lessons to learn for many readers, "World Religions" is a top pick for any with curiosity in the religious views of the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Textbook, February 27, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This exact book is a requirement for a theology course at Walsingham Academy. It arrived in perfect condition, almost as quick as buying in the store, except someone else drove. I am buying more online than ever--the technology is maturing. I would rather sit in my den than drive through all sorts of weather--with no guarantee the book will be there when I arrive.
The book is an excellent text for comparative religions. I believe we should all make some attempt to be more understanding and accepting
Thank you Amazon
