Religions Today cover

Religions Today provides a sympathetic account of what living religions really are. Fisher traces the historical development and practices of major religious movements and explores how these evolve into contemporary belief and teaching. She considers major faiths as well as indigenous religions and new religious movements, focusing on how living religions affect contemporary society. Case studies and interviews with living people ensure that this concise guide is both readable and stimulating.

' ... Fisher's book is an ambitious and noteworthy effort to provide a concise overview of today's faiths ... we should laud her for filling a key niche in the literature and producing a valuable resource of the academic study of religion.' - Journal: Teaching Theology and Religion
