Synopsis
Six studies of six faiths. The World Religions series explores the major religions of our world today. Focusing on the six main Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism, each title looks first at one person's experience, and then examines the facts, arguments and opinions from around the globe. Special debate panels, supported by a wealth of resource material, invite the reader to discuss the issues that are currently shaping our world. Young readers will learn about their own faiths and will receive answers to important questions such What is Jewish Law? What is enlightenment? Do Sikhs believe in an afterlife? Should we question the truth of religious books such as the Bible? What does the Hindu way of life aim for? These questions and many more are explored in detail, providing readers with a glossary and resource guide for further reading. Written by educators, these books are well researched, carefully written, and are credible resources for young students. Parents will appreciate the open and sensitive treatment of each religion. The World Religions series is an important contribution to helping increase cultural awareness and promote tolerance.

From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. The sturdy paperbacks in the World Religions series present many excellent photographs along with discussions in question-and-answer format that convey each religion's origins, beliefs, and practices. Islam begins with "Abdul's Story," a first-person account of the daily life, outlook, and aspirations of a 15-year-old Muslim boy in London. The chapters that follow explain the history and traditions of Islam as well as the practices and values of Muslims today, including issues such as adultery, women's rights, contraception, and militants. Many visual and verbal references to Muslims in England indicate a British origin, but the book's focus is worldwide, and the appended list of organizations includes only those in North America. Besides this attractive introduction to Islam, volumes on Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, and Sikhism are also available in the series. Carolyn Phelan
