Description - isms: Understanding Religions by Ronald Geaves
Part of the best-selling isms series, this is an easy to use guide to world religions. From the major religions to specific sects and denominations, it gives a practical introduction to all the significant isms that have shaped world religion.
For each ism, there is a definition, an introduction to the topic and
key words as well as suggestions
of other isms that the reader might be interested in. The religions are
illustrated with images of the art and architecture representative of
the religion. In the appendix there is a glossary, a map of the world
showing where the religions are primarily based, a list of festivals
and other useful information.
This book, with its strong illustrative matter from art and
architecture, is a handy companion volume to the first two books in the
series. It is also a useful reference for people interested in world
religions.
