"Now in its third successful edition, 'A concise introduction to world religions' is a comprehensive introduction to major faith traditions around the globe. Building on the strong foundations provided by the two-volume set 'World religions: Eastern traditions; and 'World religions: Western traditions', this contributed volume offers students an engaging, insightful overview of each tradition's history, practices, and place within the contemporary society. Highlights: A new introductory chapter gives students an up-to-date overview of the study of religion around the globe; Three new contributions offer fresh chapters on Indigenous, Jewish, and Christian traditions; Increased coverage of women's roles and contributions brings to light often overlooked aspects of religious life; Fully revised sections on contemporary issues help students understand the challenges that religious traditions face in the modern world; Online ancillaries -- including an instructor's manual, a test generator, and PowerPoint slides for instructors and a study guide for students -- offer additional support to enhance the teaching and learning experiences." -- rear cover.
