A LITTLE HISTORY OF RELIGION

Ranging far beyond the major world religions of Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism, Holloway also examines where r eligious belief comes from, the search for meaning throughout history, today's fascinations with Scientology and creationism, religi ously motivated violence, hostilities between religious people and secularists, and more. Holloway proves an empathic yet discerning guide to the enduring significance of faith and its power from ancient times to our own.
