Religions of the World. How to Decipher the Sacred Side of Humanity

Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Catholicism, and other religions have accompanied humanity throughout its entire history, from ancient times to the present day, and they inspire people to feats and sacrifices, encourage society towards progress, or, conversely, sow chaos and hostility. This... book contains an excursion into the most vivid religious traditions of the world, which will help navigate the complex and multifaceted science of religious studies, as well as discover sometimes non-obvious answers to the most interesting questions: how does religion differ from astrology, which ancient Japanese religions can be seen in Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons, or who was the first Slavic pope in history? Open the most intimate side of humanity with this book!
