WHAT THE GREAT RELIGIONS BELIEVE

by Joseph Gaer ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 12, 1963

Joseph Gaer offers a run-down on the history, and substance, of the great religions, characterized for purposes here as the living religions -- and actually the overall religion, rather than the sects, is presented. Hinduism, Buddhism, ainism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shintoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism, and Zen Buddhism are each treated separately, with a presentation of origins, beliefs, chapters from the sacred texts, sayings. The approach is simplified but informative, offering a quick comparative view and a generous sampling of material actually used by the various faithful.
