“Para conseguir la paz, tenemos que aprender a conocer las diferentes religiones del mundo”, escribe el Dalai Lama en el prólogo de este libro. Mac Gellmann y Thomas Hartman se han propuesto hacer comprensibles las grandes religiones. Para ello, parten de las “grandes preguntas”, que desde siempre y mucho antes que los grandes filósofos, se hicieron las religiones. ¿Cómo debemos vivir? es una de esas preguntas. O: ¿Qué habrá después de la muerte? Judaísmo y cristianismo, Islam y budismo, hinduismo y sintoísmo, todas ellas dan su propia respuesta. Conocerlas es algo más que una cuestión de formación. Conocer las otras religiones quiere decir también comprender mejor a las personas que las profesan. ¿Cómo se deletrea Dios? es un libro inteligente, pero también divertido y lleno de humor y, sobre todo, un manual de tolerancia. Especialmente recomendado para estudiantes de Secundaria y Bachillerato y para adultos interesados por la paz y la tolerancia.
