Religion Book
Religion is in the news, accompanied by a staggering rise in the amount of disinformation, distortion, and dissonance. Whether it’s the revelation of a large radio network’s Christian right agenda, the uproar over the biblical interpretation of gay marriage, the box office epiphany of Mel Gibson’s controversial gospel burner, or the political heat generated by the latest Islamic schism, religion affects all of us. Reaching across the religious and secular divides, The Religion Book: Places, Prophets, Prophets, Saints, and Seers couldn’t come at a better time, giving readers straightforward, no-nonsense explanations about all matters pertaining to religion. From Aaron to Zoroastrianism, The Religion Book provides nearly 300 entries examining key religious figures, prophets, deities, issues, plates, and scriptures augmented by some 100 illustrations. Minister and comparative religion professor Jim Willis offers an encyclopedic overview of the history, people, and practices of the world’s major and alternative religions and spiritual practices. The vast scope of the book includes Native American and pagan spirituality, feminist and environmental theology, the practices of Wicca and Druze, and a peek behind the headlines for a look at the Raelians, Heaven’s Gate, and Branch Davidians. For anyone curious about matters religious, this sweeping volume is chock full of information.
