It also includes the most central source documents, so that readers may access the words of these great spiritual explorers for themselves.The work benefits from many pedagogical features: - bold-faced terms - boxed text sections that identify central figures and points of debate - study questions for each chapter - chapter summaries - a glossary. The book is accompanied by a companion website offering the following resources: - sample tests - podcast lectures on key topics by the authors - a discussion guide for each chapter - learning objectives linked to each chapter.
