Introduction to World Religions

Introduction to World Religions, 3rd Edition, is a textbook designed to support students in their study and research of global religious traditions. Supported by a board of consulting editors, the work presents a balanced approach to exploring diverse world faiths.

Introductory sections on understanding religion and the religions of antiquity establish a foundation for examining specific traditions. Coverage encompasses indigenous religions alongside major Asian and Abrahamic traditions, offering both historical overviews and modern perspectives for each faith.

The 2018 edition introduced a new layout enhanced with rich illustrations and added a dedicated section on women and religion.
