The Historical Atlas of Religion (Historical Atlas Series)

4.9/5 (20690 ratings)

Description:A visual survey of the great religious faiths, from their beginnings up to the present day The 21st-century world is witnessing the beginnings of a major religious revival. Just a few years ago, few would have considered such an event likely. The general belief was that religious faith was being shunted to the sidelines, steamrollered by scientific advance in an increasingly rational world. Today, however, the picture is significantly different. The continuing relevance of religion to the human story makes the publication of this authoritative new atlas timely in the extreme. Centred on the use of some 150 visually arresting maps, it charts the origins, historical development and current status of all the world’s major religions past and present in a sequence of chronological chapters, starting in earliest times and continuing up to the present day. There is detailed coverage of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. In each time period, specific religious and related social, economic, political and cultural milestones are covered in full, along with informed analysis and comment, singling out what the various religions have in common, how they interacted with each as they developed, and what factors make them individually unique. Other religions covered include Shinto, Jainism, Taoism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism and Baha’i, as well as the world’s fascinating mix of indigenous religions, notably those centred in sub-Saharan Africa, parts of North and South America and Australasia.
