| Summary: | "World Religions is one of the most widely offered courses on the Religion and Theology curriculum to introduce students to the study of religion. Despite the competitive market, Understanding the Religions of the World is praised by adopters as a comprehensive and rigorous textbook ideal for undergraduate students. With 4,000+ copies sold over six years, this title is valued for its combination of historical context, contemporary beliefs and practices, and original theory, with numerous study features and valuable overviews.

This will expand the target audience of the book, allowing cross-reference between other disciplines within social sciences"-- |
