Seekers after Truth is the second of two volumes written for 14-16 year-olds who are studying the six great religions of the world. The first book covers Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and the second Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism. Both volumes are divided into three sections which look at each of the religions in various aspects - history, beliefs, festival, worship and sacred texts. Guidance is given to the students in the form of key questions to consider. Important texts or prayers from the religions are used to summarise the aspect being studied. Colourful and informative photographs and maps further help the reader to understand what is often difficult subject matter. A glossary of key words is provided in each unit as an aid to grasping the essence of each religion and to help with work for examinations.
