Synopsis

One World, Many Faiths invites students to explore life's big questions and the wide range of answers offered by the world's faith traditions. From faithful believers to committed skeptics, human beings have long explored questions such as: Who am I? Why am I here? How do I make sense of suffering? Is there a sacred reality and how do I relate to it? The answers are diverse but the urge to question unites us all.

This textbook invites the reader to engage the various religions and philosophies present in our world today, to listen to a myriad of views and to think critically about the role of religion in society. It encourages students to interact and explore through discussion questions and opportunities for reflection embedded in each chapter.

New with the 3rd edition are updated statistics and additional content within the current chapter framework. Along with the text, a study app and a companion website are available for students and faculty.
