1. Az öt Világvallás
A concise comparative introduction to five major religious traditions—Hinduism, Buddhism, the Chinese religions (Confucianism and Taoism), Christianity, and Islam—outlining their historical origins, central doctrines, rituals, and ethical frameworks while noting both convergences and distinctions. Emphasizing neutrality and clarity, it situates each faith in its cultural context and explores how they address enduring human questions about ultimate reality, salvation, moral order, and community.
