Avoiding Hunger and Finding Water

Alan Brown

En enkel innføring i de største verdensreligionene jødedommen, sikhismen, buddhismen, shintoismen, taoismen, kristendommen, hinduismen og islam. Hellige skrifter, historie og ritualer/høytider er beskrevet. Hver religion får flere oppslag som behandler historie, hva det betyr å høre til troen, høytider, dagligliv og fest og de største trosretninger innenfor religionen. Beskrivelsene av religionene er lagt i munnen på barn. Dette kan gjøre stoffet mer nært og hverdagsliv, men barneperspektivet virker noe påtatt. Boken fremstår som nøytral i forhold til de religionene den beskriver, men forenklingene går noen steder for langt. Boken legger vekt på toleranse og beveger seg på grensen til idyllisering. "Religionen kan hjelpe oss til å leve sammen som brødre og søstre", heter det i konklusjonen. Aspekter ved den enkelte religion som kan være provoserende, berøres ikke. Sist i boken finner vi en kort oversikt over mindre religioner, en ordliste og register. Boken er illustrert med tegninger og fotografier. Språket er enkelt og skriften tydelig.
