Taking a historical approach that starts with Canadian Indigenous religions, The Religions of Canadiansintroduces traditions, histories, and practices of ten religious groups, some mainstream, some less familiar, and examines the adaptive traits of these groups within specific immigrant communities. The book begins with a wide ranging introduction to the multicultural social and political context of Canadian religious faith and practice and concludes with a discussion of new religious movements and future trends. Each chapter is written by an expert on the religion. The chapters are all divided into five sections: introduction, traditions, arrival and transformations in Canada, contemporary practice, and postscript. Chapters conclude with a list of key terms and dates, related websites, a bibliography of key readings, and key questions for reflection. The book's approach introduces readers to the religions of the world while also building an overall picture of the diversity of Canada's multicultural society.
