The Many Paths

 The Many Paths: A Modern Guide to the World's Faiths and Worldviews

What do the world's faiths really believe, and what do they share? In this warm, accessible guide, Ben Solomon introduces more than twenty traditions, from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam to Hinduism, Buddhism, Indigenous and African religions, and secular humanism. Each chapter begins with the surprising original meaning of the tradition's own name, revealing a common thread that runs beneath the differences.

•Twenty-three chapters covering the Abrahamic faiths, the faiths of India, East Asian traditions, Indigenous and African paths, and new and secular worldviews
•Word histories that open every chapter and uncover shared roots in words like religion, spirit, peace, and believe
•Fair, respectful portraits that let each tradition speak in its own voice without blurring real differences
•A practical guide to interfaith conversation, plus a chapter on faith in the digital age
•Helpful appendices with comparison charts, a glossary, a calendar of holy days, and a bibliography
