This book offers a unique introduction, from the inside, to the world's faiths, striking a readable and sparkling balance between the personal and the informative, the spiritual and the sociological.
Broad-ranging and compassionate, this is a book for everyone - whether the Christian seeking a succinct discussion of their faith or the non-Christian seeking to broaden their understanding of their cultural tradition. This is a book that transcends geographical and doctrinal assumptions and seeks to explore the essence of Christian faith, life and history, and the issues it faces today.
