Conflict and Reconciliation: The Contribution of Religions
John Bowker

Key Publishing House Inc, 2008

Religions are involved in many long-running conflicts around the world from the Balkans and the Middle East to Kashmir and Sri Lanka. All that is well known. Not so well-known are the resources that religions can bring, specifically and uniquely, to the process of peace and reconciliation after conflict. This book looks in detail at the ways in which the search for reconciliation is an obligation, even a command, in particular religions. ...

A must have
The book is beautiful, well documented and has the whole gamma of information. It is also practical and has much illustration. The CD included, although I have only scanned it, seems to contain good information.

The Oxford Dictionary of World Religions
The dictionary does its job in explaining religious terms in an up-to-date, clear, and concise manner. The majority of the terms have at the end of the definition a list of books whereby the reader can persue the idea further. All of the broad terms (e.g., death, angels, sin) are broken down into sections for each of the major religions; the major religions themselves are broken down ...

Picture this!
I use the Cambridge Illustrated History of Religions in a course I teach on World Religions for my university -- it has a good breadth of coverage, good detail, wonderful photography, and a very nice colour layout that makes for easier reading. Editor John Bowker provides an introduction and conclusion as well as one of the topical sections. In the introduction, Bowker writes, 'There is no ...

It helps the layman to understand some of the significant aspects of the context of the Biblical Narrative. Like most DK publications the illustrations are magnificanet and work with the text--they ...

The Sacred Neuron: Discovering the Extraordinary Links Between Science and Religion
John W. Bowker

I. B. Tauris, 2007

Why do we think that things happen in the way that they do? Why do we think that some things are true, and other things false? Why do we maintain that some things are good, and other things evil? These are questions that have puzzled thinkers for millennia. In the past they have been answered by separating our emotional from our rational responses. But recent research in the neurosciences suggests that the questions now deserve very different ...

Problems of Suffering in Religions of the World

John Bowker

Cambridge University Press, 1975

A must have book for any student of religion
I have found this book to be indispensible in my studies of theodicy. The book gives a short, concise over view of the major religious traditions, then explains how each tradition interprets and responds to the problems of evil and suffering. This book will give you a fairly sound grounding in the basics of each tradition. You won't have to go out and read entire text book on a religion to ...

God

John Bowker

Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd, 2004

Excellent Introduction to Comparative Religion
Bowker's aim with this book is to provide an overview of God and how human beings relate to him through history. This is an enormous task that many scholars bawk at, and instead choose to remain only with a certain world view, believing it is the only correct one there is to reaching the truth. Thankfully Bowker avoids a parochial viewpoint (he is a Christian) without scoffing unfairly or ...

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions (Oxford Paperback Reference)

2 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2005

Darn good reference work!
For pure bulk of information on anything and everything having to do with religion, this is the 800-lb. gorilla of dictionaries. It's jammed with so many tidbits and details about the world's major religions that you'll keep turning page after page. Sometimes the multiple cross-references can overwhelm you, though. It would have been nice to have something to tie everything together; the ...
