Product Description
Product Description
Illustrated, comprehensive and illuminating, this thoroughly up-to-date work is more inclusive than competitive volumes - with features on everything from ancient Native American beliefs to Protestantism to newer creeds like Scientology - it presents a host of eminent religious figures and scholars to introduce the basic tenets and structure of 30 faiths. A respected authority on each religion surveys its history, exploring important issues both internal to the faith and external, with respect to contemporary American society, culture and politics. The essays also discuss broader, more overarching aspects of worship in the U.S., including such topics as interfaith relations and communication, religion and the media, the interaction of science and faith and mergers and schisms within established groups. And, in addition to serving as an encyclopedic reference, this book tackles head-on the most current issues and controversies in American religious worship.
