The Religions Book ( Big Ideas)

Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism sit alongside ancient and indigenous belief systems in this DK survey. The Religions Book explains doctrines, practices and histories using the Big Ideas Simply Explained method: concise text supported by timelines, diagrams and illustrated summaries. Each tradition is described on its own terms rather than argued for or against, which makes the volume workable in classrooms and for readers approaching the subject for the first time. Connections between faiths, and between faiths and the societies that carried them, are drawn out throughout. Points to consider: • Major world faiths covered alongside older and smaller traditions • A descriptive, comparative approach rather than an argued position • Timelines and diagrams supporting every section • Suitable for classroom use and independent study A reliable starting point for students, teachers and curious readers, published by DK and stocked at Boipoka.
