Historical Atlas of The Religions of The World

Here is the most extensive historical atlas of religion ever published. Sixty five maps, including material never before mapped, portray practically everything which conceivably lends itself to cartographic interpretation. Maps illustrate the origins and distribution of religions, and the locations of sacred cities, sites, and temples. Also highlighting the material are numerous photographs and drawings. Enlightening essays in Historical Atlas of the Religions of the World are written by scholars who are believers in the religions about which they write. These essays present the history of each religion, its growth, and interaction with space and time, and the relation of one religion to an another
