Faiths & Religions of the World, by David Gibbons, is a special collection of pictures that are interwoven to create a story line of different religions. It also presents elaborate details on various aspects of faiths and religions. Summary of the Book This book details various religious beliefs and customs to geography, from the epic thinkers to a common follower, from history to the future of religion and how all of this have shaped the world that we have today. The most fascinating part of the book lies in its exquisite use of colorful images and depictions along with those beautifully created maps, describing the story much clearer than any other work of literature. Gibbons gives his best when he explains how religion is still an important factor in deciding the current affairs of the world.
