Teach Yourself World Faiths by Paul Oliver

Teach Yourself World Faiths by Paul Oliver

Teach Yourself World Faiths Third Edition is an accessible and comprehensive guide to the main religious beliefs of the world. It aims to help readers become familiar with twelve of the main religious faiths in the world, covering the history of each faith, its belief system, scriptures and holy books, festivals and the organization that supports each faith. This new edition has been fully revised to include recent debates, updated resources and a new chapter on new religious movements that will cover faiths such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Brahma Kumaris and Rastafarianism. This book is designed to present all the essential information required by a reader who has no previous knowledge of the religion but who wants to feel confident in dealing with members of the faith community - in terms of their beliefs and attitudes and also of the practical details of their culture, ceremony, diet and moral views.

Dr Paul Oliver is a Principal Lecturer at the University of Huddersfield. He specialises in comparative religion and has a particular interest in eastern religions.
