Teach Yourself World Faiths by Paul Oliver
Religion is a vital part of the way of life and culture of millions of people worldwide. With Teach Yourself World Faiths, become familiar with twelve of the main religious faiths of the world. Discover more about the history of each faith, its belief system and key religious ideas and the organisation which supports it. With Teach Yourself World Faiths: - investigate the origin of each faith - find out more about the main religious beliefs - examine the varying scriptures and holy books of each faith - discover more about key religious festivals and ceremonies. The "Teach Yourself World Faiths" series aims 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 is 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.
