Download or read book Pocket Idiot's Guide to Christianity written by Brian Wilson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-10-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -- Christians make up more than three-fourths of the U.S. adult population, at approximately 159 million, and come from more diverse backgrounds than ever before. -- Provides accurate information from a recognized scholar of comparative religions -- no prior knowledge required. -- Virtually no other pocket-sized titles taking a comparative-religion approach to Christianity. Christianity has always been America's predominant faith. Current studies show that Christianity's popularity is not letting up but that its ranks are growing. Moreover, it has been adopted by great numbers of people outside of Europe and North America, considered the largest religion in the world with 1.8 billion devotees. The Christianity of today, though based on traditional tenants of the faith, is richly varied in interpretation and practice around the world. The Pocket Idiot's Guide "RM" to Christianity starts by briefly tracing the origins of Christian thought with the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth and how his role as the Messiah transformed the faith. Following chapters will concisely present the growth of Christianity and its many traditions throughout the Middle Ages and finally to its period of reformation and resulting sectarian movements. Final sections will focus on the current globalization of Christianity, its effects on Christian practice and beliefs and the new challenges and opportunities the faith will confront going into the 21st century.

Book Synopsis The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Judaism by : Dan Cohn-Sherbok
Download or read book The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Judaism written by Dan Cohn-Sherbok and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -- Though the growth of the Jewish faith has leveled in the U.S., its estimated 5.6 million adherents still outnumber all other non-Christian religions. -- Provides accurate and concise information from a recognized scholar of Judaism- no prior knowledge required. -- There are few pocket-sized books that present a condensed survey of Jewish history, key beliefs and practices. Jewish culture and religion has played a significant role in the formation of world, as well as American, culture. Jews, both practicing and non-practicing, have become thoroughly integrated into society. Outside of Israel, the U.S. maintains the highest concentration of Jews worldwide. The Pocket Idiot's Guide "RM" to Judaism looks at the Jewish religious tradition from its birth in Biblical times to the foundation of the modern Jewish state of Israel. Key themes in Judaic history, such as the formative period of the Temple, coexistence with Christianity, the critical Reform and the community's long struggle against anti-Semitism, are explored. Important contemporary concepts, practices and holidays such as Zionism, Kaddish and Passover, are but a few points of interest concisely covered. The book ends with a brief survey of Judaism's future challenges: the survival of the Jewish state, Judaism and feminism and the assimilation of Jews into secular society.
Book Synopsis The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Islam by : Jamal J. Elias
Download or read book The Pocket Idiot's Guide to Islam written by Jamal J. Elias and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-12-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: -- Islam has experienced the sharpest growth in the U.S. of any non-Christian religion over the last several decades. -- Recent events related to 9/11 and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East are motivating Americans to desire an accurate picture of the Islamic faith as it's currently practiced. -- This guide provides accurate information while no prior knowledge is required. Islam is practiced by a diverse number of peoples from various cultures - estimates show there are nearly I billion Muslims worldwide - and yet westerners are not well acquainted with the faith. The deep divide between Muslim and Christian worlds has made the knowledge gap more pronounced, but increasingly, Muslim communities are intermingling with Christian ones in the U.S., raising hopes that greater mutual understanding will result. The Pocket Idiot's Guide "RM" to Islam covers the rise of Muhammad and the development of the Islamic community into its two main branches today - Sunni and Shi'i. This condensed guide furthermore explains Islam's central tenants, concepts and ritual, like the Qu'ran and its role in Shari'a law, or the meaning of imam, jihad, Sufi and Ramadan. Islam's opportunities and challenges facing it in today's societies are also examined: from Islam and the role of women to current Muslim politics - both popular and radical are key concerns for many Muslims.
