12 Major World Religions by Jason Boyett

Have you ever been curious about Buddhism? What about Judaism? Islam? Christianity? 

12 Major World Religions by Jason Boyett gives an overarching history and brief explanation about the most popular religious beliefs around the world. Each religion has its own chapter containing a timeline, major figures, beliefs, major texts, practices and sub-divisions. The book also includes a variety of side notes and images that break up what would otherwise be large blocks of text. Without overwhelming readers, the book provides a satisfying amount of information about each of the religions. 12 Major World Religions is a great starting point for students who are curious about religion but don’t know where or how to begin.--Claudio Leon
