The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the major religions, including their historical origins, beliefs, and practices. Jain covers a wide range of traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism.

In the second part of the book, Jain explores the similarities and differences between the major religions. She discusses the common themes that run through all religions, such as the belief in a higher power, the importance of ethical behavior, and the hope for salvation. She also discusses the ways in which religions differ from one another, such as their beliefs about the nature of God, the role of women, and the afterlife.

In the third part of the book, Jain examines the role of religion in society. She discusses the ways in which religion can promote peace and understanding, as well as the ways in which it can be used to justify violence and discrimination. She also discusses the challenges facing religion in the twenty-first century, such as the rise of secularism and the increasing diversity of religious beliefs.

Comparing Religions is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the world's religions. Jain's clear and concise writing style makes the book easy to read and understand, and her thoughtful insights will challenge you to think critically about the role of religion in our world.
