Review: Excellent Resource. - This book gives a clear, comprehensive overview of most major religions, making it an excellent reference for both kids and adults. We’ve found it especially helpful for homeschooling perfect for answering questions and sparking deeper conversations. Before we travel, we love using it to learn a little more about the culture we’ll be visiting. Easy to use, well-organized, and a wonderful resource to have on the shelf! Review: Another brilliant DK-source of information - This is already my fourth, after Philosphy, Politics and Economics. And I hope, not the last. Mathematics is already waiting, whatever still... The DK-concept, manner, genre of straightforward presenting of big ideas in ordinary language greatly pleases me. The secret weapon is the huge amount, myriad, thousands of links, with which the contents of the book is tied together to a tight and compact bundle of knowledge in a way completely inimaginable in a paperbook. This is a true revolution in textbooks. As an old text book author, my fingers are itching for transforming one or why not all of my several text book texts to this format, particularly as none of them has been published as ebook, yet. In this book all the big religions Buddhism, Hindjism, Christianism, Islam are thoroughly presented as well as essentially perhaps hundred smaller variants, all in a matter of fact spirit without praising or mitigating any higher or less than others. Valuation is left to reader. I really made a list of my three top favorites and one disfavorite, one of them not known to me at all before reading this book. Very, very many aspects are considered, moral, practical, historical, social and others. It is astonishing how small details may be decisive in the essence of a religion. On the other hand, some keep a watertight, airtight hardcore of doctrine, some are dynamic and as such a chain of deliberate changes of doctrines and practice. Think about the Christianity from war-fighting past to the peaceful present. Or about the relationship of the religion to human scientific knowledge. The history is full of abrupt or gradual upsidedowns. Interesting pilgrimages, largely descripted in this book. No question of other than full five stars. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #35,168 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #22 in Religion Encyclopedias #25 in General History of Religion #33 in History of Religions | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,522 Reviews | ## Images ![The Religions Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GstESpfdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Resource. *by E***H on October 8, 2025* This book gives a clear, comprehensive overview of most major religions, making it an excellent reference for both kids and adults.

It goes through 1-4 page summaries on a few dozen ancient religions, 5 long sections on 5 major religions , and then more quick summaries on modern religions. I learned a lot. From what I know it was pretty fair and high level. Focused on the religion history, main teachings, development of religion, and the differing sects of the religion. Did not focus on the culture surrounding the religion. I would recommend this to anyone looking to learn about other religions. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Religions Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained (DK Big Ideas) - 12 Major World Religions: The Beliefs, Rituals, and Traditions of Humanity's Most Influential Faiths - Comparative Religion: Investigate the World Through Religious Tradition --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/68389091-the-religions-book-big-ideas-simply-explained](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/68389091-the-religions-book-big-ideas-simply-explained) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
