The five major world religions: Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity

Across the boundaries of cultures and continents, this book leads us into the universe of religions: it shows us the human being who passionately searches for the secret and the meaning of his existence. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity: why a comparative overview of the five major world religions?
Other religions offer other world and human visions on the meaning of life, other visions on morality. Knowledge and understanding of this diversity is a real enrichment. Also from an ecumenical point of view, studying other religions is of course a must. And finally, knowledge of religions, the supporting foundations of the peoples, can only contribute to more understanding of and tolerance towards other cultures.
This little book will prove to be of great service in all this. It is a concise and comprehensive introduction to the five great world religions, a standard work that no one can ignore.
