World's Religions w/CD by William A Young
For courses in World Religions or Comparative Religions. This introduction to the world's religions provides an orientation to the study of religion, surveys the history of the major world religions, and discusses the ways these religions respond to contemporary ethical issues. It also presents a sampling of new religious movements and looks to the possible ways the world's religions may interact in the 21st century. Its distinctive “framework for understanding” religious worldviews allows students to compare and contrast the teachings objectively."The entire focus on contemporary issues is unique, as far as I have foundIn addition, Young has the best chapter on Indigenous Religions I have found. And his first chapters on definitions of religion are quite excellent and much easier for students to follow than in many similar textbooks .... This book is far preferred by students." — Pamela Jean Owens, University of Nebraska, Omaha
"The author has the student in mind ....Students with little background can comprehend it and find it interesting ....This is the only text I use, and it covers everything well for me." — Mark Putnam, University of Northwestern Iowa
