Overview

The Continuum Glossary of Religious Terms provides a comprehensive glossary of terms from seven major religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism—the main faiths that are studied both in school and at university in the English speaking world.

This useful and informative work should help anyone studying religion up to graduate level, but it is also a fascinating pool of knowledge for all those interested in religious practice or belief, whether their reasons are to gain qualifications or merely personal pursuit of knowledge. The author compiled the glossary in response to students’ worries over the complexities of dealing with unfamiliar concepts in a range of unknown languages. The glossary therefore provides an exhaustive exploration of religious terminology in a way that is accessible but also provides an in-depth understanding of the religious tradition.
