Summary
Mircea Eliade: A Guide to the World's Religions
Relying on a wealth of information from various encyclopedias, Eliade created this compendium in which the major religions are arranged alphabetically. The guide contains information about the origin of 33 world religions, information about religious customs, terms and persons mentioned in it. The book is divided into a macro and a micro-dictionary.
The macro-dictionary offers definitions of world religions, including Shinto, shamanism, Taoism, South American religions, Slavic and Baltic religions, Confucianism, the Egyptian mysteries and the religions of Oceania.
The micro-dictionary offers definitions of references through longer explanations in the macro-dictionary.
