Religion in Focus is a series of fact-packed reference books about the main world religions. The books will provide as much factual information as possible, and will use tables, diagrams, maps and photographs, as well as text, to make that information easily accessible. Each title will cover such topics as where the religion is practised, its key tenets and beliefs and how these are interpreted in everyday life, main religions figures, the main festivals and what they celebrate, the various different forms and sects within the religion, holy places and holy scripture. Important terms will be highlighted in the text and explained in a glossary. Each book will also feature a timeline of significant dates in the religion's history for easy reference.
