The Story of Religion serves as an information text that gives its readers a very brief and simplistic explanation of the basic tenets of several major world religions. Given the globe-spanning nature of the information covered, it has been classified as an international book. This is not a book that is intended to proselytize any one religion to anyone, but rather inform them with information that, unfortunately in public schools, cannot often be discussed. One of the major problems that I have with this book is that its really dry, i.e. there is no catchy style to the writing. The big idea here is that the world is peppered with people who have different beliefs. Therefore we must learn and expect tolerance. Towards the conclusion there is a somewhat hokey explanation of all religions tying back to God which I feel kind of defeats the purpose of text, i.e. perhaps it is proselytizing, just in a "we're all one in the Matrix" kind of thing. But this is a helpful book. It will be in my son's library. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This lavishly illustrated book introduces the history of religious belief and the practice of religion in the world today. It illuminates the differences that make each religious group unique and the fundamental beliefs that all groups share. This text encourages children to recognize, understand, and value the diversity of the world's religions and the universal concerns they address. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

I recommend this book to fifth graders because it is a little more complex and a more serious conversation to have with kids. This book is very informational about all the different religions. This can help kids realize that many places in the world do things completely different from their usuals.
