Looks at how religious belief has influenced 24 distinct societies and cultures spanning from the ancient world to the present day. This work provides a three-volume overview of the ways in which religious faith has shaped societies from the ancient world until the present.

For example, volume one offers a section with essays considering religion in ancient Rome, while volume three offers a section with essays considering religion in modern Africa. Such a layout makes it simple for a reader to find information about a particular religion in a particular era and place. Altogether, this work gathers more than 500 essays from more than 150 scholars offering scholarly introductions to religious people, places, and events that have influenced the development of societies over the course of recorded human history.
