Rövid leírás:
World Religions Today, as the title suggests, is the only book to focus on the effect of modernity on world religions: what their adherents practice as well as the way the faiths developed historically. This core textbook is designed for the first university survey course on the major world religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, as well as indigenous and new religions), and includes full instructor and student supports. The third edition is updated to
address primary sources, personal transformation, and current global developments, all in a new full-color format.
Hosszú leírás:
Revealing the significance of religion in contemporary life, World Religions Today, Third Edition, explores eight major religious traditions--Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, East Asian Religions, indigenous religions, and new religions--as dynamic, ongoing forces in the lives of individuals and in the collective experience of modern societies. This unique volume accomplishes two goals; it connects today's religions to their classical beliefs and
practices while also focusing on how these religions have responded to and been transformed by the modern world. The authors combine thorough coverage of the historical background of each religion with up-to-the-minute discussions of its current practices. Each discussion opens with a contemporary scenario of religious
experience that illustrates the tension between premodern views and modernity. The volume is enhanced by numerous pedagogical aids--timelines, maps, illustrations, discussion questions, a comprehensive glossary of key terms--and more than 200 photographs. An Instructor's Manual and a Companion Website featuring resources for both students and instructors supplement the text.
NEW TO THE THIRD EDITION

* Updates that cover more aspects of the current international situation and developments in religious life around the globe

Ideal for undergraduate courses in world religions and comparative religion, World Religions Today, Third Edition, emphasizes the interconnectedness of faith, culture, politics, and society, providing a peerless examination of the diverse ways in which contemporary human beings are religious.
