Product Description
Product Description
Religion is a vital part of the way of life and culture of millions of people worldwide and this guide aims to help readers become familiar with 12 of the main religious faiths of the world. It uncovers the history of each faith, its belief system, scriptures and holy books, festivals and ceremonies and key religious ideas and the organization which supports it. The book is designed to present all the essential information required by a reader who has no previous knowledge of the religion, but who wants to feel confident in dealing with members of the faith community - in terms of their beliefs and attitudes and also of the practical details of their culture, ceremony, diet and moral views. As such it should be relevant to the needs of police, social workers, solicitors, businessmen, teachers and all who require sensitivity and insight in dealing with the public in a multi-faith and multi-ethnic society.
