£17.10
For billions of people, having a religious belief system provides purpose in life. For some, religion serves as a guide for moral behavior. Today’s world is one in which our understanding of world religions is both understatedly important, as well as increasingly complex.
After many years exploring the foundations of various world religions, Jason Boyett has written this comprehensive, easy-to-understand exploration of the twelve major world religions through a meticulous, yet unbiased lens. 12 Major World Religions offers an impartial look at where each of these belief systems intersects, how they differ, and why some have been–or are currently–misunderstood.

Great book to understand the basics of all major religions. I bought this for myself as I have an interest in religion itself. I’m a Christian but love having an understanding of other religions and faith

The religious teachings, beliefs and way of life for the 12 major religions practiced by those adherents is thought provoking and challenging to the whole of western civilization. Each religion presents itself with it’s own coded language , moral guidance , communal memories , ontological ideas and metaphysical constructs. Who is leading these religious paths? Do we have to conclude that there is a general truth to each religion? What does the West say in response to the multi-religious life styles of humanity? Are we really inherently good? How do we communicate the symbols of goodness , joy, kindness, compassion, gentleness, patience , love, faith, peacefulness and self control to our neighbours? The message of Jesus is universal and true when he told his followers do to others what you would have them do to you.

I have started reading this Kindle book – very interesting so far but frustrating as some pages are blank. Chunks of text are missing!
