Words in World Religions

It is impossible to speak of religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam without using words from the original Sanskrit, Pali or Arabic. Few people will have had the opportunity of studying these languages for themselves, but they will need to understand technical words and to recognize the significance of important names as they occur. The author has provided definitions and descriptions of the most important words in six world religions together with introductions for each section which give additional information and interpretation.
