About

This illustrated guide explores the history and development of six major world religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, tracing their origins and examining how they are practiced and expressed in the modern world. 

It discusses significant people, beliefs, movements, and historical events, including the life of Buddha, Guru Nanak, the Crusades, the Reformation, the Holocaust, and the Sunni-Shia divide. Maps, photographs, biographies, statistics, festival calendars, and timelines help place each faith within its historical and cultural context, providing an accessible overview of how religion has influenced societies throughout history and continues to shape the contemporary world.
