Synopsis

Concise Dictionary of Spirituality and World Religions is intended to help the subject of world religions and spiritu¬ality to become more accessible to the general public. It is also hoped that students of world religions, spiritual people and even profession¬als, religious peole, monks and believers of all religions, yoga teach¬ers, and practitioners will turn to it for helpful information. It does not have pretensions to complete¬ness, but it does provide a wide range of entries. While the scope of the book has been restricted to the Christi¬anity, Hin¬duism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam and other major religions and spiritual phenomena, aspect of the subject associated with Sikh¬ism, Jainism, Zen, Shinto, history of religions, theology, phi¬losophy and religions, spiritualist psychology, yoga, sufism, meditation, Pa¬ganism, spiritual social movements. Special attention is dedicated to the terms in the field of spiritualism, magic (paranormal), rituals, sym¬bols, actions, language, as a category separate from religion. In par¬ticular, influences of East religions on Western civilization are men¬tioned, although no attempt has been made to include the vast termi¬nology of religions of India, China, Japan that would itself fill volu¬mes. Apart from the books devoted to single religions, much infor¬mation has been extracted from more general sources: other diction¬aries and internet. Containing over 5.200 entries in the field of all the aspects of spritu¬ality, religions and human spirit achievements, this is the most com¬prehensive and up-to-date dictionary of spirituality in paperback. On 420 pages the book covers all aspects of human spiritality in all peri¬ods of history of civilizations, from East to West. It is an invaluable work of reference for the general reader and believers in all major re-ligions, from Hinduism to Christianity.
