Description

This study of the world's religions takes a visual approach. All aspects are covered: the origins, history and key figures of a faith, as well as its central themes, beliefs, iconography and practices. Introductory text sets the scene for each image and explains its significance within the faith it represents. Supporting text gives concise explanations of major themes and popular stories. Detailed analysis of each image helps explain the symbolism and meaning within it. The introduction compares and contrasts the themes and beliefs of the major religions and gives an overview of the ancient religions that molded many current faiths. As well as religious imagery and iconography, the guide includes depictions and explanations of non-representational religious art, such as Islamic architecture.
