Description: "It is now recognized that, in the pluralistic world of which a multi-faith Britain is a part, it is important for everyone to understand the philosophies and practices of the world's different faiths." "Six World Faiths reflects the multi-faith nature of society in its authorship and thus presents an introduction to inter-religious understanding which will provide people working and living in a multi-racial society with the knowledge necessary to appreciate each other's beliefs, practices and values."--BOOK JACKET.
