Dummies for Jesus

(ENI) – With titles like Spirituality For Dummies and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Jesus, user-friendly books on sacred texts, major religions, meditation and figures such as Jesus, the Buddha and Pope John Paul II are proving popular in the United States.
"Many people today see spirituality as a tool to be understood and used in life," said Mary Kupiec Cayton, professor of history and American studies at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. "These guides can help bring people up to speed on subjects where they have little prior knowledge. They also suggest that there is a market for accessible information dealing with religion and spirituality."
