Fourth Edition
John L. Esposito, Darrell J. Fasching, and Todd T. Lewis
- Connects today's religions to their classical beliefs and practices and highlights the tensions between historical religious traditions and their modern manifestations
- Offers an up-to-date view of how religions have responded to and been transformed by the modern world and how they impact and are impacted by globalization and international relations
- Highlights some of the most colorful, lively, and striking aspects of religion today through a wide variety of thematic and special-topic boxes that explore particular ideas or practices in some depth: * "Rituals and Rites" boxes examine rituals that have changed in practice or meaning over time * "Gender Focus" boxes highlight gender-specific customs within each faith * "Teachings of Religious Wisdom" boxes expose students to primary sources from various traditions * "Contrasting Religious Visions" boxes compare the beliefs of two significant adherents of a faith who each see the demands of their religion calling believers in very different directions in the modern age * "Tales of Spiritual Transformation" offer descriptions of religious experiences in the believers' own words
- Incorporates helpful pedagogical aids, including timelines, maps, illustrations, discussion questions, a comprehensive glossary, suggestions for further reading, and more than 200 photographs
New to this Edition:
- Streamlined content throughout for greater accessibility
