RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD


The unique opportunity to explore, investigate and experience eight of the world's major religions is presented in this fascinating disc. Attitudes and practices which may have once seemed strange or quaint, are now put into perspective within the communities and beliefs they represent. The eight religions: Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Shinto and Sikhism, can be studied not only in terms of their history and practice, but also their role and influence in a modern world.

Past and Present
The disc is divided into two key sections. Aspects of Religion: where you can explore the beliefs, festivals, people, scriptures and practices for each religion. Contemporary Issues: which considers attitudes to war, environment, crime and punishment and social and domestic issues such as race, marriage, abortion and wealth.

A Journey of Discovery
The interactive Visit feature lets you move around and through the sacred buildings of each faith. Principal features and artefacts can be accessed and investigated at any stage. While Personal View provides a unique opportunity to listen to the views of members of all the faiths, through a series of revealing interviews.
