In the 2nd half of the 20th century, religion is still very much alive; several of the great missionary religions, Islam in particular, make many new converts every year. With the changing structure of our community life many people must be making their 1st acquaintance with different races & varying creeds.
What do these living faiths entail? Who were their founding prophets, visionaries & messiahs? How do the faithful worship?
What are their different beliefs, dogmas, moral laws & heresies?
Prof. Parrinder presents an unbiased study of the world's living religions & illustrates the modern reforms & new attitudes adopted in face of the threats of materialism & dictatorship.
