Description
Book Introduction
A revised edition of the best-selling book, offering a three-dimensional overview of the history and news of the world's five major religions.
The bestseller “Reading the History of the World’s Five Major Religions with Maps” has been republished under the revised title “Reading the Knowledge of the World’s Five Major Religions with Maps.”
The illustrations in the book were comprehensively supplemented, and the maps and text were revised to reflect the flow and changes in world affairs related to religion.
It is no exaggeration to say that the history of mankind is the history of religion.
Since time immemorial, human life and death have always been governed by religion.
So, understanding religion means knowing myself and knowing the world.
Because religion is like everything in the world.
Behind most of the world's political, economic, and cultural phenomena, 'religion' is involved.
This is because religion is not confined to the individual level, but is deeply connected to various problems in the world, including national and even terrorism.
It is also an undeniable reality that the flags of hatred and war are flying in religions that promote love and peace.
So, we cannot properly understand religion through the lens of faith alone.
This book covers two aspects of religion: faith and reality.
In other words, it is a way to look at the history and news of religion that moves the world from various perspectives, with history as the warp and news as the weft, intertwining them.
This book, which depicts the reality of religion on a graphic map, is designed to provide a glance at the origins and development of the world's five major religions: Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, and Hinduism.
A major feature is that it allows for a diverse view of religious conflicts and issues through three-dimensional maps and rich color photographs.
Additionally, the founders, doctrines, and sects of the five major religions, as well as basic knowledge and information about each religion, are neatly organized in diagrams and illustrations.
Gain a bird's eye view of the flow of world affairs through living religious stories!
Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, religious conflicts caused by the clash of civilizations between Christianity and Islam have continued unabated.
Religious issues are often behind the frequent wars and conflicts that occur around the world.
The recent horrific terrorist attacks that have spread like wildfire across various parts of Europe will not stop.
What are the causes and background of the deep-rooted distrust and hatred between religions? Depending on one's knowledge of religion, one's understanding of global affairs, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, terrorism and war in Africa, and regional conflicts in Europe, will differ.
This book covers a wide range of global issues related to religion, and also provides detailed explanations of the religious backgrounds surrounding key figures and events.
For example, it reveals the religious roots and links hidden behind people and events that appear to have nothing to do with religion on the surface.
Some of the fascinating religious histories and issues covered in this book include:
- Similarities and differences between the birthplaces and holy sites of the five major religions as seen through a religious map
- Why are 43 of the 47 U.S. presidents Protestant?
- Why do 'Islamic fundamentalists' turn into radical terrorists?
- How do a small number of Jews dominate the world's politics, economy, and culture?
- What is the root of the conflict between the three major religions surrounding the Holy Land of Jerusalem?

Publisher's Review

This book provides a glimpse into the past, present, and future of the five major religions that move the world.

In particular, the graphic religious map will combine maps, text, and illustrations into a single map, allowing readers to experience the fun of both viewing and reading.
It is meaningful to look at the religious map in this book and see how religion connects humans and the world.
Chapter 1: Reading the History of Religion through the Five Major Religious Maps
The map holds many important and interesting clues to understanding the world's many religions.
Religion's characteristics vary depending on the geographical environment of the region where it was born.
If you look at the map, you can see that monotheism arose in the dry, rainy regions of the Middle East, while polytheism arose in the warm, humid regions of eastern India, where it rains a lot.
Through the commonalities of the birthplaces of religions and the stories of their founders, the historical demands and geographical background that led to the birth of the five major religions are explained.
By comparing the scriptures, doctrines, sects, and outlook on life of the world's five major religions, the religious characteristics of each religion are explained.
You can see the holy sites of the five major religions at a glance through a graphic map.
Chapter 2: Reading World News Through the Five Major Religious Maps
We examine the religious background of people and events that make world news.
Although most countries advocate the principle of separation of church and state, in reality we often come across news that links politics and religion.
Why are all US presidents, except for the 35th President Kennedy and the 46th President Joe Biden, both Catholics, Protestants? In the US, the president takes the oath of office by placing his hand on the Bible.
So, is America a country where politics and religion are inseparable?
Explains the religious reasons why Turkey cannot join the EU and why Islamic fundamentalism is turning into radical terrorism.
We will learn about the political and religious background of America's support for Israel and AIPAC, the Jewish interest group that dominates American politics.
Chapter 3: Reading the World Economy Through the Five Major Religious Maps
To understand the world economy, it is essential to first understand religion.
Capitalism, which operates the global economy, is closely related to religion.
Because Protestantism is an ideology that provides the logic and ethics of capitalism.
Although Catholicism had a negative stance on labor, leaders of the Reformation, including Calvin, taught that “labor is evidence of faith in God,” and they actively entered the world of capital accumulation and finance.
How does a capitalist economy function in an Islamic country where interest is prohibited by the Quran? This book explores the source of the power of Jews, who, with their "merchant blood" flowing through their veins, use finance as a springboard to dominate the global economy.
Chapter 4: Reading World Conflicts Through the Five Major Religious Maps
Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, the conflict between the Christian and Islamic worlds has intensified.
As soon as the ideological conflict of the Cold War between the East and the West ended, the clash of civilizations and cultures based on religion became the spark of global conflict.
Recently, terrorist attacks have been frequent in Europe and around the world, and sectarian conflicts are continuing unabated.
The vicious cycle of revenge begetting revenge continues.
We examine the reasons why the Islamic world is engaging in anti-American struggles and the conflict between Shia and Sunni sects in the Islamic world.
It details the Jewish diaspora scattered around the world and the struggle between the three major religions surrounding the Holy Land of Jerusalem.
Chapter 5: Reading Religious Knowledge with the Five Major Religious Maps
Regardless of East or West, religion is a way of life and a philosophy for humans.
Human daily life is always connected to the roots of religion.
Why do different religions have different doctrines? It's because while the teachings are always the same, each interpretation of the doctrine is accepted according to their own preferences.
It covers essential religious knowledge and information that you need to know in your daily life, such as homosexuality, gender discrimination, and the reason why Western music originated from church music.
It details the process by which Jews pioneered and took control of Hollywood, the American film industry that dominates the world film industry.
Explains why the Hindu practice of yoga and the Buddhist doctrines are different.
This book provides a glimpse into the past, present, and future of the five major religions that move the world.
