Around the World in 80 Faiths

Around the World in 80 Faiths is a yet another great documentary by the bbc. The 8 episodes series is presented by Peter Owen Jones an Anglican clergyman taking one year off his duties to travel the world and discover about faiths and religions. His journey is most interesting, and as usual BBC documentaries are the best, but the thing is this documentary have set such a high goal of presenting 80 Faiths (10 per episode) that it barely scratches the surface of the religions and beliefs it describes. While rushing through major religions (like Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism) would have been understandable - there are far enough documentaries about them already - but for the less known ones it would have been better to explain more and investigate.
Learning about religions is a very important step toward understanding other cultures and blending in the "Dialogue of Civilizations", for instance, as a Tunisian, I would have learnt that the so called "Magus" (مجوس) in the Islamic civilization, believed to be worshippers of fire are actually Zoroastrians followers of one of the oldest monotheists religions in the world, for whom fire is somehow sacred and they keep it alive in their temples no matter what, which made Arabs believe that they worshiped it. It's the same with Hinduism, in Tunisia it's widely believed that Hindus worship cows, when ut's not true : cows are considered to be sacred and holy, but Hindus worship gods (I still don't know exactly about the gods in Hinuduism, but I know that they reincarnate just like people are believed to do in Hinduism, so a god might be known by many names which are he/she's incarnations names). I could have learnt about these things by watching the documentary, but personally I have heard these things from my Indian and Iranian friends and neighbours (we speak a lot about food, but sometimes religion slips in).
Anyway, the point is, learning about others religions and beliefs helps us overcome our own prejudices about them, and even though this documentary doesn't give in-depth information about each religion it mentions, at least it opens up new horizons for the viewers to look into them and find more informations about them elsewhere.
There is a book by the same title by Peter O. Jones, unfortunately it's out of print in Amazon, I was hoping to find more detailed account of Peter's journey. I hope they will be reprinting it soon.
