Understanding Spirituality and World Faith Expressions

By: Chaplain Keith Evans

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This book evaluates the core beliefs and expressions of spirituality, humanism, and the primary world faiths of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. This second volume of The Chaplain Skill Set Series serves as a general comparative religion guide for chaplains of all beliefs and faith traditions. This volume has been revised and expanded. It now includes more one worldview concepts as well as a new section of real-life chaplain encounters called Verbatims. Verbatims are transcripts of chaplain visits with individuals with deep analysis of the spiritual, religious, cultural, psychological, sociological aspects as well as the chaplain's personal meaning/impact of the encounter. Verbatims are great self exercises for readers. The Series has a three-fold purpose. It is designed for: 1) individuals who are unfamiliar with the unique field of chaplaincy, 2) for laity or clergy who are discerning whether or not to go into chaplain ministry, and 3) for seasoned clergy and chaplains who simply want to revisit the tried and true skill sets which produce an excellence in chaplaincy.
