A Brief History of Religion — Richard Holloway

A Brief History of Religion is a compelling and accessible overview of religious thought and practice across human history. Richard Holloway weaves together perspectives on Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and smaller faiths—examining how beliefs evolved, how they shaped culture and politics, and how modern challenges affect religious identity. His style balances intellectual rigor with empathy, asking provocative questions like: Are religions dying? Why do people kill in the name of God? How do faith and doubt coexist? The Ukrainian edition (~256 pages, paperback) brings this elegant survey to a broader audience.
