Religion has influenced human culture since prehistory, shaping everything from the politics of war and peace to notions of morality and issues of sex, reproduction, and family. On an individual level, it has also offered people a sense of meaning, purpose, and comfort, and even today, when science appears to offer answers to many of the worlds's conundrums, faith persists and many religions--including Christianity and Islam--are still growing. The Religions Book explains in a clear, accessible way more than 100 of the most important theological ideas, from those bound up in the earliest cultures to others that have emerged in the last few hundred years, along with all of the main tenets of the world's major faiths. In doing so, it considers key issues such as the problem of defining good and evil, the significance of suffering, creation and the afterlife ("Why are we here?" and "Why do we die?"), and the nature of god.--Publisher's description.… (meer)

I believe it is not accurate sometimes. ( )
  AmmarAlyousfi | Aug 12, 2023 |
I received criticisms, remarks from a friend on this topic. He is friendly, often writes in newspapers on this topic. As he is writing for general public; I expect him to bring more content.

I wanted this person to give a more serious, thoughtful understanding of religion. Apparently, he gave usual popular internet arguments or opinions on Religion.

I mean, I wanted him to put more effort in educating himself, having a thoughtful response. He's on his way to get a PhD.

It would be beneficial for a discussion, rather than saying,
"Religion is a tool, used to control people."

This does not discredit the idea of God (genetic fallacy). I shared this book, so he can go through different religions and be more informed.

Hinduism was most interesting to me. I wish more people would talk about religion openly, rather than cower.

The Book is a survey of religious ideas.

I think, this would be have much better if Religious ideas were more systematized or hierarchical.
I was thinking, a lot of religious groups treat each other with disdain. Wish, there was a book that would give how each religion view each other throughout centuries.

I would recommend this to anyone, who wants to go through a concise description of religions of humanity

Regarding the contributors, information was taken from the book's pre-pages. Nine experts in various fields relating to religion compiled this authoritative work. About the book, quoting from the book's dust jacket, "'The Religions Book' explains in a clear, accessible way more than 100 of the most important theological ideas, from those bound up in the earliest cultures to others that have emerged in the last few hundred years, along with all of the main tenets of the world's major faiths. In doing so, it considers key issues such as the problem of defining good and evil, the significance of suffering, creation and the afterlife. . ."
