Eight religions that rule the world. Europocket

This book presents the largest religions of the world: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Yoruba religion, as well as an additional chapter on atheism, as they truly are—in all their glory and disgrace.

You will learn what gave rise to the religions that have captivated millions of people; what the great religions of the world promise to humanity and what they require in return; what real problems a particular religion addresses; what is happening in the modern global religious market today; how religion can become one of the greatest forces of evil in history.

Stephen Prothero is not only a recognized expert in religious studies but also a master of words, so "Eight Religions..." is both a competent exposition of the main ideas, practices, and values of great religions and an engaging witty tale about human searches for God and the desire to become more perfect in the past and present.
