Living Religions presents a highly readable and stimulating survey of the modern religious world. Exploring
the historical development and teachings of traditional faiths, indigenous religions, and new religious movements,
this book considers how each of these traditions has evolved into contemporary beliefs and practices. This text
explores in detail the changing nature of each religion, the spread of religious pluralism, the rise in violence
in the name of religion, and the movement toward interfaith dialogue. Author Mary Pat Fisher offers fresh and challenging
insight into how believers of today's faiths perceive their religion and its role in the changing world in which
they live.
