Lester Kurtz gives students the tools they need to understand religious life in todaybs world, first by considering the manifold global interconnections among beliefs and believers (as well as among those who oppose them), and second by introducing students to the fundamentals of each of the world religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. As provocative as it is informative, this book will spark heated classroom discussion and careful reexamination of some of our conventional understandings about the role of religion in the modern and postmodern world.
