A Handbook of Living Religions door John Hinnells
This is a books of essays on different religious traditions. It includes essays on Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Buddhism, Chinese religions, Japanese religions, religions in primal societies, modern alternative religions in the west, and a case study on Baha'ism (yay for recitations of the table of contents!). Given the breadth of material, it can be expected that it does not have much depth. However, the book does give an excellent overview of the basic history, beliefs, and current (as of 20 years ago) development of these religions.… (meer)
Este dicionário foi elaborado com a finalidade de satisfazer às necessidades dos mais variados leitores, e uma necessidade comum a todos é compreender o vocabulário especializado usado pelos que praticam uma religião e por aqueles que escrevem sobre ela.''
This is quite a little handbook, but flawed certainly. The text is peppered with little mistakes, and the quality of information about each religion is quite uneven. Verdict: take with salt.
