World Religions Today, as the title suggests, is the only book to focus on the effect of modernity on world religions: what their adherents practice as well as the way the faiths developed historically. This core textbook is designed for the first university survey course on the major world religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, as well as indigenous and new religions), and includes full instructor and student supports. The third edition is updated to address primary sources, personal transformation, and current global developments, all in a new full-color format.
