For all who want to understand the religious faiths of their neighbors
and coworkers, Winfried Corduan offers an introduction to the religions
of the world. His survey covers major and minor religions including
Judaism, Islam, Zoroastrianism, African traditional religions, Native
American religion, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Baha'i, Chinese
popular religion, and Shinto and Japanese religions.
Neighboring Faiths emphasizes not just formal religious teachings but
also how each religion is practiced in daily life. Dozens of
photographs, charts and maps help illustrate how the faiths are lived
out in contemporary culture. Moving beyond mere description, Corduan
offers specific suggestions for how Christians can avoid giving
unnecessary offense to followers of these faiths while engaging them in
constructive dialogue.
This edition has been thoroughly revised and expanded, with a new
chapter on Islam after 9/11 and additional material throughout.
