Routledge (1988, 1991)

The four volumes of The World's Religions series provide a new and authoritative account of the complex patterns of religious development, teaching and practice in (1) Islam, (2) The Religions of Asia, (3) Judaism and Christianity, and (4) Traditional Religion and New Religious Movements. In dividual chapters are written in a scholarly but non-technical manner by internationally recognised specialists and attempt to provide the 'inside view' so that each volume can present clearly the theological and philosophical basis of the beliefs covered, their history, expression and everyday practice.
