For billions of people, having a religious belief system provides purpose in life. For some, religion serves as a guide for moral behaviour. Today's world is one in which our understanding of world religions is both understatedly important, as well as increasingly complex. After many years exploring the foundations of various world religions, Jason Boyett has written this comprehensive, easy-to-understand exploration of the twelve major world religions through a meticulous yet unbiased lens. It offers an impartial look at where each of these belief systems intersects, how they differ, and why some have been, or are currently, misunderstood.
