This condensed version of the two-volume introduction covers the major world religions, focusing on six areas: the origins of the movement; the crystallization of its teachings; its major divisions in regional and historical perspective, the practice of adherents and of its religious specialists; its influences on society, literature, the arts; and the challenges of intellectual, social, and technological change to the tradition.
