The World's Living Religions

A well-known introductory textbook on comparative religion by Robert E. Hume. It surveys eleven living faiths, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Confucianism, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Islam and Christianity, describing each one's founder, sacred texts, history and main teachings, and ends with a brief comparison. Written from the author's own scholarly viewpoint, it is a useful reference for students and general readers. The text is in Persian (Farsi/Dari).
