The Hammond Atlas of World Religions presents a comprehensive, visually engaging and chronologically accurate assessment of religion throughout recorded human history. Because the subject is vast and complex, the book is structured in two parts. The first moves chronologically from 4,000 BC up to present day, giving an overview of geo-religious change through time. The second part details each of the major modern religions from their inception through the worship today.
