Summary
Richard Holloway: A Little History of Religion
Richard Holloway is a compassionate yet insightful guide to the power of faith - presenting the histories of the great religions, from their inception to the present day. In doing so, it goes much further than Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism. Starting with the origins of religious beliefs and the search for the meaning of life and death through different religions, the author's story goes all the way to today's fascination with Scientology, as well as to the question of why some cases of violence are motivated by religiosity. Written in an age of radicalized religious views, this book offers a much-needed antidote, and at the same time appeals to both believers and non-believers, as well as those who have yet to make up their minds.
