From the Back Cover
This new introduction to the world′s major religions provides a comprehensive survey of the major traditions together with selected primary readings. Assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, The Major Religions will be the ideal introduction for students on shorter courses at college and university.
The beginning student in world religions can feel overwhelmed by the quantity of material to be mastered, and so this text focuses on the essentials of each tradition. Professor Burke focuses on the worldview of each religion, on the beliefs and values that make religions meaningful to their followers, rather than on historical development. Historical material has been included, but only where it serves to illuminate the worldview of the religion.
Each chapter also features a selection of primary texts from both scriptures and other religious writings to illustrate each tradition. To help the student a number of study aids have also been included: each chapter includes discussion questions and test questions, summaries and suggestions for further reading. The book also includes a comprehensive glossary and index.
