Symbols of Religion Series

The Symbols of Religion Series delves into the core symbols of Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, and Tibetan Buddhism, encouraging readers to explore their faith with curiosity, reflection, and mutual respect. These richly illustrated volumes, Symbols of Catholicism, Symbols of Islam, Symbols of Judaism, and Symbols of Tibetan Buddhism, highlight how significant these emblems have served as a “spiritual shorthand” to bridging the gap between the human and the divine. Authored by leading scholars, with curated visuals and atmospheric imagery shot by still-life photographer Laziz Hamani, these titles communicate concepts like unity, protection, and transformation that are often too complex or profound to express with mere words. From the rosary in Catholicism and the Kaaba in Islam to the huppah in Judaism and the altar in Tibetan Buddhism, the Symbols of Religion Series enables adherents to instantly access complex theological concepts, emotions, and a communal heritage that transcend ordinary language.
