Approximately 87% of people worldwide (data according to http://conggiao.info/) can write something other than “None” under the Religion section in their profile. Following a natural path over thousands of years, more than 10,000 religions have emerged (https://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki) with a vast number of followers. Religious activities and rituals take place in many different forms, creating widespread branches that have allowed religion to develop uniquely as it is today. However, how many of the more than 7 billion believers in the world are sure that they understand their religion and are truly practicing the original version as intended by the founders of that religion? A Little History of Religion, a book with a simple and accessible style, summarizes the entire history of the formation and development of religions. The 40 chapters are presented vividly, arranged logically, and interconnected, offering readers a concise yet comprehensive overview of the origins, doctrines, and rituals of religions around the world. We would like to respectfully introduce it to our readers! |
