You're no idiot, of course. you know that the earth has a colorful and diverse history among its many cultures--full of people who practice many different ways of recognizing a higher power or spiritual presence.

You can understand--even if you don't practices--what others preach. The Complete Idiot's Guide to World Religions, Third Edition, points out the differences--and similarities --of spiritual worship around the world. In this newly updated and revised Complete Idiot's Guide, you get information on:
How each major religion views such controversial issues as war and peace, euthanasia, suicide, and abortion.
Rituals and holidays as celebrated through Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other spiritual beliefs.
Sacred texts written in such books as the Bible, Torah, Qur'an, Bhagavad Gita, and other doctrines.
Religious extremism in the post-9/11 world--and the responses of the major religious scriptures to those who pursue terror and hate in the name of God.
