About this ebook

This reference offers an introductory look into a broad range of topics on living and ancient religions, including what we now call myth and mythology. It includes 3,500 entries listed alphabetically, with 29 longer articles on major religions such as Judaism and Hinduism, and issues such as the study of religion or symbolism and iconography. Several plates of color photographs and hundreds of b&w illustrations provide fascinating visual images. This volume may be a welcome addition to a family library; however, it may not prove as useful to professionals due to its lack of depth and breadth (e.g. it does not include any mention of some major topics of religious importance, such as evangelism or conversion).
