The Religions Next Door: What We Need to Know about Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam--And What Reporters Are Missing
The Religions Next Door: What we need to know about Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam - and what reporters are missing will educate readers as to the truth about world religions that the media often misrepresent. Our neighborhoods are full of religious diversity these days, but the media would have us believe they all hold different variations of the same tenets. But this isn't so, and it is in those missed details that serious and grave misjustice is done to the American people by the misreporting of religion.The Religions Next Door provides insight into the beliefs of four growing religions in America, and challenges the media community to report religion as real news - not as community relations fodder, but as stories of human and theological interest.

As a columnist myself, I found the last few chapters about how the media covers religion and religious issues most interesting.

I purchased this book to get a glimpse of each of these religions and how they differ, Admittedly I knew more about Judiasm than the others. Still I had not realized the extent of persecution they have endured. This book is written in easily understood fashion and I aplaud the author for not trying to brow beat his readers with scholarly and uppity importance. How nice to pick up a book on Religion and know that readers would not have to have a degree to understand the information. Beverly J Scott, Author
Read the book if you want to learn something about religions

I almost passed on this book based on other reviews! This book is well written and balanced. I suspect the other reviewers are followers of, or members of the typical liberal "inteligentisia"!
