Sourcebook of resource information about different religions, including their origins and beliefs.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Gathered in the wake of the centennial Parliament of World Relgions in 1993, this is an inspirational collection of essays, poems, and other writings by scholars of the world's religions as well as laity. While initial sections describe the goals of the parliament as well as the beliefs of all the religions of the world, the crucial contribution of the book is its emphasis on "forming a community of religions" and "looking toward the 21st century." Such visions articulate the ways that religions can work together to effect political, social, and religious change, especially in attitudes toward the environment and the interdependence of humanity. Most touching are the poems of children. An illuminating look at the living character of the world's religions; highly recommended.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
