Preface
As Asians, we should be proud of the fact that the world’s greatest religions originated from Asia.
From the arid western frontier began Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. From the vast Indian subcontinent
came Hinduism, Theravada Buddhism, and Mahayana Buddhism from South Asia. In the east originated
Confucianism, Daoism, and Shintoism. The study of world religions is a challenging and worthwhile
endeavour. With this in mind, we offer you the textbook Introduction to World Religions and Belief
Systems to help you comprehensively learn not only about the fundamental teachings and ritualistic
practices but also the historical background, geographical context, and cultural milieu of these profound
Asian religions. This textbook, as our contribution to the insightful study of religion, is based on the
objectives and competencies of the K-12 Basic Education Program.
We have divided the book into five parts. The first part will discuss the key concepts in religion and
belief systems which serve as framework in the study of religions; the geographical and cultural contexts of
these religions as they originated; and the effects of religion on followers and adherents. The second part will
explore the nature of the Abrahamic religions from West Asia (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). The third
part will examine the features of the Dharmic religions from South Asia (Hinduism, Theravada Buddhism,
and Mahayana Buddhism). The fourth part will look into the attributes of the Daoic religions from East
Asia (Confucianism, Daoism, and Shintoism). Each of these chapter ends with a comparative analysis of
these religions with focus on their origin, purpose, morality, destiny, and views on women. The final chapter
attempts to determine the religious landscape of the 21st century by way of assessing the uniqueness of each
world religion and its impact on humanity.
Apart from understanding key concepts in religion, it is also imperative to learn the historical and
geographical circumstances of world religions in order to appreciate their distinctive characteristics. This
endeavor aims to promote mutual understanding among adherents of various belief systems. At the end
of the semester, students are expected not only to understand world religions, but more importantly, to
demonstrate an appreciation and respect for their own faith and that of others.
Aside from the objective of deepening the understanding of world religions and developing appreciation
of various belief systems, this book also aims to cultivate critical thinking skills through challenging activities
based on the learner-centered approach. This textbook comes with a teacher’s manual and additional
resource materials to help teachers in facilitating a more effective study of world religions.
