Religions of the World: A Latter-Day Saint View

This survey of the world's religions is written from a Latter-day Saint perspective, though the authors present it as an objective guide. It describes the beliefs, rituals and holy days of the major faiths, and explains how each has divided into the branches and denominations that followed. Many pages are illustrated with photographs and drawings, which help readers picture the places of worship, dress and ceremonies being described. The volume serves as a reference for students and general readers who want a clear overview of religious life today, with the traditions placed side by side for comparison.
