Inhaltsangabe

A religion is a system of stories and there is no better way to engage with the world’s religions than through the stories that animate their beliefs and practices. Through the exploration of these ancient stories and contemporary practices, Stephen Prothero, a New York Times–bestselling author and gifted storyteller, helps students to better grasp the role of religion in our fractured world and develop greater religious literacy. Videos and an award-winning adaptive learning tool, InQuizitive, further engage students and help them master core objectives and develop their own religious literacy.
