Synopsis

This work ranges historically from Primal Religion, with its beginnings in prehistory, to the Baha'i tradition, which arose in the 19th century. It engages with early religious movements, such as those of ancient Egypt, Qumran, and Greece and Rome; it looks at the monotheistic religions, such as the Jews, Christians, and Muslims; it investigates Indian traditions, such as Hindu, Theravada Buddhist, and Sikh; and it explores Far Eastern traditions, such as Confucian, Taoist, Mahayana Buddhist, and Shinto. The book offers readers the opportunity to empathize with others' circumstances, past and present, and to come to an understanding of their existence.
