Description
Comparing Religions: The Study of Us that Changes Us is a comprehensive textbook that explores the art and practice of comparison in the globalizing world. First published to reflect recent scholarship, this innovative volume reimagines the comparative study of religion for the 21st century.
The book reviews the fundamental tenets of the world's religions, discusses the benefits and problems of comparative inquiry, and examines how the practice can impact a person's worldview and values. It also provides insights into the history, trends, debates, and questions of explicit comparativism in the modern world.
With accessible chapters, diverse case studies, and learning features such as chapter outlines, summaries, toolkits, discussion questions, and more, this book is ideal for students looking to engage with religious pluralism through a comparative approach.
