Religiones

Taliaferro argues that studying religions is crucial to understanding today's diverse world population and history. He also affirms that the world of religions offers intense and deep resources to explore the meaning of our lives today. In this book you will find an accessible introduction to Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and five other religious traditions, contrasted with their secular alternatives. It is a non-dogmatic and tolerant panoramic tour that aims to broaden our vision of the similarities and differences between the world's religions. The book emphasizes the definition of religion, the methods used to study it, and many religious concerns, including the nature of faith, the existence of some ultimate reality (God, Allah, Brahman, Nirvana, the Tao) , the practice of prayer and meditation, the problem of suffering and the possibility of life after death.
