Description: "A wide-ranging and thought-provoking survey that recongizes the diverse traditions behind the monolithic labels of the major Western faiths. For each set of traditions, a specialist explores not only origins, central teachings, divisions and branches, and rituals and practices, but also cultural interactions and responses to modern challenges. Accessible and engaging, this contributed volume is widely considered to be the definitive introduction to the subject." --
