In an age of hardening religious attitudes and explosive religious violence, this book offers a welcome antidote. Richard Holloway retells the complete history of faith - from the dawn of religious opinion to the 21st hundred years - with deepest respect and an enthusiastic commitment to precision. Writing for those with faith and those without, and specifically for young listeners, he induces attention and tolerance, accentuates nuance and puzzle and calmly restores a feeling of the worthiness of faith. Varying far beyond the major world religions of Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and Hinduism, Holloway also examines where religious belief comes from, the search for meaning throughout record, today's fascinations with Scientology and creationism, religiously enthusiastic violence, hostilities between religious people and secularists and much more. Holloway proves an empathic yet discerning guide to the long lasting significance of beliefs and its vitality from historic times to your own.
