Human beings have traditionally turned towards religion during times of extreme stress and uncertainty very similar to our present day. Religions proffer leading a life of spirituality and practice as being transformative for ourselves, communities and the planet. Religions of the World: Spirituality & Practice provides a contemporary approach to the study of world religions drawing on teachings from Eastern, Western, and indigenous traditions including mysticism. What are the transformational experiences offered an individual found within the teachings, paradigms, and practices of religious traditions? How do religions foster a sense of connection with societies, Earth, and the cosmos as a whole?

This book encapsulates 20 years of teaching Religions of the World courses at the college level. Religions of the World: Spirituality & Practice highlights the intersectionality of religion, spirituality, and practice using a personal, social, and ecological lens.
