Religion is one of the most dominant forces on the world stage, cited in international affairs from global terrorism to disputes in Pakistan, Lebanon, and Israel. This book carefully explores the commonalities between religions as well as the differences that make each spiritual tradition distinct. It explains the six stages are religion evolves from the teachings of a wisdom teacher to a religion that defines itself as exclusively right and how reform movements bring it back towards the original teachings. This book assists the reader in examining beliefs, history and customs. It also assists the reader in comparing religion to his or her own faith tradition.
