Summary

Elder M. Russell Ballard challenged the Latter-day Saints: "Get to know your neighbors. Learn about...their views... If our history teachers us nothing else, it should teach us to respect the rights of all people..." Know Your Religions will help it's readers to fulfill that commission. Each author of the respective volumes has spent many years studying and teaching, not only the LDS faith, but also the tenets of the faith and practices of the religious denominations about which they have written.
