Overview

"The popular Exploring the Religions of Our World textbook has supported introductory high school courses on world religions for more than twenty years. The revised and updated version includes a number of new student-friendly features such as infographics, section assessments, photo and image features, updated chapter reviews, and projects geared toward various learning styles. A new appendix offers background on major American Indigenous religions, atheists, agnostics, and the rising class of ""nones"" in the United States. You will continue to find information on Christian denominations with origins in the US as well. The updated Exploring the Religions of Our World maintains its easy-to-follow format of five sections per chapter--history, scriptures, sacred times, sacred places, and comparison with Catholicism. Additionally, the sequence begins with chapters on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam--the religious traditions students are most familiar with--and also includes chapters on Hinduism, Buddhism, Chinese religions, and Japanese religions explained through the lens of their own beliefs and traditions."
