"Historical Atlas of Religions gives an overview of religious practice from the time thousands of years ago when humankind first embraced supernatural ideas, through the emergence of today's great global faiths, to modern beliefs. It avoids moral judgments and the competing claims of differing traditions and instead looks to the origins of religious practice, the development of doctrine, and the benefits of faith to ordinary people worldwide.
It is written for anyone who has ever questioned the meaning of spirituality and the power of belief.".
"Author Karen Farrington shows how different cultures' beliefs evolved, how their influence spread, and where they came into conflict with each other. Arranged geographically, the atlas details religious history from Australasia to North America. Topics include Native American worship, Shamanism, Christian Scientists, the story of Judaism and the creation of Israel, the birth of Jesus and the spread of Christianity, the rise of Islam, Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism."--BOOK JACKET.
