توضیحاتی درمورد کتاب به خارجی
Religion For Dummies explains how the world's great religions
answer questions that persist through generations. Authors
Rabbi Marc Gellman and Monsignor Thomas Hartman are trusted
religious advisors known as the God Squad. With wonderful wit
and incredible wisdom, they host a daily talk show which
reaches nearly 4 million homes in the New York area, and have
appeared on numerous TV and radio shows. This book is not
a scholarly
theological treatise; it's a lively, practical, hands-on
resource that will help you better understand your own religion
and others. You'll explore: Religion's role in the family and
in the workplace The beliefs and practices of Christianity,
Judaism, Islam, and other religions Religion's impact during
major passages in life such as birth, death, and marriage How
to join a religion and how to pray How religion can help you
deal with issues in every day life such as conflict, adversity,
marriage, divorce, and more Religious rituals and
ethicsReligion for Dummies touches on lesser-known religions
(such as, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, Sikhism). It explores how
people of various faiths pray, celebrate life and death, and
view moral issues. The book does not tell you what to believe,
but rather encourages you to live as you believe and let your
religion infuse every aspect of your life. It doesn't give
simple answers to haunting, complex questions; it helps you
find your own answers and pursue your own spiritual
path. Read
