The volume (This is the 2011 updated version) in the new series Religions of the World surveys religions that have had a major impact on the history of the world and that continue to play a role in relationships between nations and ethnic groups. All aspects--including roots and founding, primary beliefs and cultural activities, the way the faiths are viewed by the rest of the world, and the experience of growing up as a member of the religion--are be examined. As the world's largest faith, Christianity has long had a tremendous amount of influence on international history and politics. Despite being split into three branches--Roman Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant--as well as almost innumerable denominations, Christianity has played a major role in directing the course of world affairs, mainly because it is often the dominant faith in wealthy nations.

Due to their natural kindness and love of life they unintentionally become a team of heroes and rescue those in trouble.There is a sense of peace and wellbeing in the stories and each closes with a satisfactory and happy ending. The love of nature is evident with a subtle thread of magic intertwining the adventures.

And a forest conservationist when meeting the dragon face to face, is surprised, thrilled even, but not at all confounded.
