The Most Important Place on Earth

Knowing the Religions of the World Presents a historical, theological and practical study of the great non-Christian religions. The initial chapter considers the set of so-called religions of preliterate societies among which the South American Quechuas are considered as a case study.

Then there are particular chapters on Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto, and Confucianism. The editor, Sir Norman Anderson, concludes the book with a Christian approach to comparative religion.

The fundamental value of this work is a comprehensive presentation of each religion under study. Each chapter is written by a true scholar of that religion.
