The Oxford Dictionary of World Religions is the most wide-ranging A-Z reference guide to all aspects of the world's religions past and present. Whether the reader seeks quick, accessible answers from the short entries, or more detailed discussion from the longer more discursive articles, it offers a wealth of unrivalled and unbiased authoriative detail. With a total of over 8,200 entries, an extensive topical index, and an original in-depth introductory essay, this new dictionary is the definitive compendium of the subject.
Now available in paperback, The Oxford Dictionary of World Religions was reviewed in hardback as `easily the best, most comprehensive, and up-to--date one-volume dictionary of world religions now available'. It offers exceptionally wide coverage of beliefs, dogmas, practices, individuals, customs, and artefacts of the world's religions past and present. As well as detailed information on individual religious traditions, there are fascinating general entries on common topics such as prayer, ethics, asceticism, confession, cosmology, art and architecture, and music.
