You're no idiot, of course. You can find India on a world map better than Columbus could, and you learned to pronounce the name of the new guy at work on his first day. But when it comes to understanding what your next-door neighbors believe, you feel like you just dropped in from another planet. Make yourself at home! The Complete Idiot's Guide to the World's Religions is the perfect introduction to the faiths and practices you've wondered about. Get comfortable with Buddhism, Confucianism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Shinto. In this Complete Idiot's Guide, you get:

A peek into the world's great faiths through the ages.
Lists of important holidays and festivals.
Advice about what to say--and what not to say--when the subject of religion comes up.
Clues about what to expect when you encounter another faith for the first time.

Work Description

You're no idiot, of course. you know that the earth has a colorful and diverse history among its many cultures--full of people who practice many different ways of recognizing a higher power or spiritual presence.

You can understand--even if you don't practices--what others preach. The Complete Idiot's Guide to World Religions, Third Edition, points out the differences--and similarities --of spiritual worship around the world. In this newly updated and revised Complete Idiot's Guide, you get information on:
How each major religion views such controversial issues as war and peace, euthanasia, suicide, and abortion.
Rituals and holidays as celebrated through Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other spiritual beliefs.
Sacred texts written in such books as the Bible, Torah, Qur'an, Bhagavad Gita, and other doctrines.
Religious extremism in the post-9/11 world--and the responses of the major religious scriptures to those who pursue terror and hate in the name of God.
