The Power of Religion is an engaging introduction to six religious traditions--Native American religions, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism--which recognizes the diversity of religious belief and offers both comparative and historical analysis. Genuinely accessible to undergraduates and general readers, it shows how various forms of these traditions are lived out in practice, experience, and community, presenting religions as conceivable ways of living and demonstrating how religious beliefs are integrally related to other aspects of life. Many chapters open with a description of a particular religious event or act that one might encounter today in the United States, where virtually all of the world's religions are now being practiced. The author discusses several of the historical developments each religion has undergone and considers how each of the religions has changed in response to the climate of religious exchange and religious pluralism that exists in the United States today. The Power of Religion helps readers to understand the vitality and plausibility of religious belief, to draw comparisons between religions, and to reflect on the nature of religion and its role in society. It is ideal for courses in introduction to religion, world religions, and comparative religion, and will also appeal to general readers interested in religion.

Damaged Goods Do Not Work For School

By M.M. on September 14, 2012

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

I purchased this book and it was destroyed. I think the writing is good and the quality to use the book in a classroom setting is present, but a book is no good for class if it is missing pages. I suggest that Amazon be more careful when distributing books. Three quarters of chapter two of my copy was torn from the binding, and all that remained were a few shreds of paper. The book is good, but the presentation and distribution of the book was far from acceptable.
