Product Description

Review

“Hopfe did an incredible job of making the material readable and flow in a logical fashion…Even with a recent flood of introductory-level texts dealing with the subject, it remains the best introductory text dealing with religions of the world.”

-Michael Krogman, Chattanooga State Technical College



Product Description

For introductory courses in world religions.

 

Conceived for students with little or no background in the academic study of religions, Religions of the World offers the most broad coverage of world religions supported by primary source documents, coverage of religions as they exist today, and integrated media resources.

 

In preparing the tenth edition of  Religions of the World, Mark Woodward drew on his experience in teaching an introductory course on the religions of the world to thousands of undergraduates over the last two decades, living and working in Buddhist and Muslim cultures for extended periods and on conversations with friends and colleagues in the Arizona Native American community. This book presumes no prior knowledge of any religious tradition. While it is impossible to cover all religions, it does cover those of the vast majority of people. In this edition, he has edited the text closely for clarity and readability and made other changes to keep it up to date and accurate including updating all sections on religion today for each tradition, bringing statistical data up to date, increasing coverage of religion and conflict of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and of the role of the Anabaptists in the Protestant Reformation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and concise historical review of world religions, 24 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Religions of the World (Paperback)
Outstanding book! I used this book to study for the DANTES exam "Introduction to World Religions." I received a "substantially above the minimum ACE recommendation" score, and I highly recommend it to anyone else taking the exam. It provides a very concise and non-biased review of the world's religions from a mainly historical perspective. The book provides the basic facts of the religions without becoming bogged down in all the dogma commonly found in such books. It will definitely get you a passing score on the exam without requiring a tremendous amount of effort. Well written.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative, 5 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Religions of the World (Paperback)
If you are just interested about the subject or taking a College course on Religion, this book will give you all the info you need to cover the basics in the major world religions. I recomend this book for anyone who is also socially repressed from a theologian point of view.
