Understanding World Religions introduces students to major worldviews-including Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Native American, and Marxist-through the lens of justice and peace. After an introduction to key themes in studying world religion, chapters help students explore major traditions today. The second edition has been updated and revised throughout.
Chapters feature profiles of major peacemakers or groups to bring the traditions to life. Each chapter takes a similar approach, examining several dimensions of each tradition-experiential and emotional, social and institutional, narrative or mythic, doctrinal and philosophical, practical and ritual, and ethical and legal. Profiles range from Gandhi and Martin Luther King to Thich Nhat Hanh and Dorothy Day.
Further chapters explore liberation theologies, active nonviolence, and just war theory. The second edition features
