    Religious Studies Made Simple discusses the historical background, beliefs, and practices of religions that influence the world, particular Christianity. The text reviews the development of religion from Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, and Christianity. The Hindu religion is over 3,000 years old and teaches that there are different gods. The author traces the roots of Judaism to Abraham—this is the first religion to teach monotheism. Siddhartha Gautama is the founder of Buddhism, a religion that teaches compassion to all living beings. The author explains that Christianity started as an answer to some Jewish expectation of a messiah. For Christians, Jesus Christ is regarded as the savior. The author discusses the Christian approach to issues such as responsibilities to self, to family, to society, and the Christian attitude to war. The author also addresses the ethical problems that medical developments have presented to Christian, as well as discrimination issues such as apartheid. This book is intended for candidates pursuing an A level course in Religious Studies, and students or academicians interested in philosophy, divinity or social studies.
