Authors John Ankerberg and Dillon Burroughs continue their exciting "What's the Big Deal?" series with concise, informative answers to the many questions people are asking about the major religious groups in the world. The groups in this book are so widespread that readers are likely to encounter their followers in their own neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces. Which makes it important to understand what they believe, and why. Included in this volume are Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Mormonism, and the Jehovah's Witnesses. And for each group, readers will discover...the origins and history; the key teachings and leaders; the major writings; the traditions and special observances; and, how they differ from Christianity. Ankerberg and Burroughs are masterful at focusing on the key essentials readers need to know. And they include many exclusive interviews with experts, as well as numerous fascinating insights-all of which makes for compelling reading.
