In the modern world people of different religious beliefs live side by side. Written by a religious studies scholar, this questionnaire book will help readers to learn more about the major religions and systems of thought, as well as to find out which thinking is closer to them.
All of us, including our friends, family, and even favorite book characters, make decisions, acting according to our inner rules and principles. People tend to think that their worldviews don’t contradict each other. But actually, we may mix different opinions and, for example, approach friendship and love as Christians, death as Hindus and freedom as secular humanists. This book contains 28 questions about life purpose, justice, personal boundaries, self-esteem, relationships – about everything that we all so care about. Ten anonymous thinkers, representing 6 religions and 4 systems of thought, give their answers to these questions. They debate, agree, or complement one another while readers may choose which reply is closer to them.
