This second edition first published 2018 © 2018 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Edition History: Blackwell Publishing Ltd (1e, 2009) (Hardback: 978-1-4051-6702-4 / Paperback: 978-1-4051-6703-1) All rights reserved. World Religions in Practice A Comparative Introduction His previous books include Special Divine Action (1996), the first edition of World Religions in Practice (2008, Wiley Blackwell) and Buddha, Jesus and Muhammad: A Comparative Study (2014, Wiley Blackwell). He completed his doctoral studies in Rome and has taught theology and religious studies in Indonesia and at the Melbourne College of Divinity. Paul Gwynne lectures in comparative religion in the General Education Program of the University of New South Wales. These include short readings from sacred texts and rites across different traditions, which allow students to engage directly with original sources. The new edition includes an increased range of student-friendly features. With great clarity, Gwynne works through these key themes, describing the practices of each religion, at the same time providing a balanced and sympathetic discussion of the similarities and differences between each faith. Each chapter engages with an individual theme, such as birth, death, food, pilgrimage, sacred texts, worship, and ethics, exploring the rituals, customs and beliefs across a range of religions. Innovative and accessible, the text goes beyond many traditional textbooks by adopting a directly comparative approach that allows for a greater understanding of the nature of religion. This unparalleled introduction, exploring how religions are lived through their customs, rituals and everyday practices, now includes Daoism in addition to the religions covered in the first edition: Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. World Religions in Practice The new edition of World Religions in Practice has been expanded to introduce six of the world’s major religions to students.
