About the Book

Ethnic religion (or indigenous religion) is a specific form of religion that is associated with a particular ethnic group. These religions can be distinguished from religions that claim not to be limited in ethnic or national scope, such as Christianity, Buddhism, or Islam. Some localised denominations of global religions are also practised solely by individual ethnic groups, for example, Assyrians have a unique branch of Christianity known as the Assyrian Church of the East.
