I've been looking for a book on the following subjects:
•Buddhism (the branch of Theravada)
•Refuge in the Three Jewels
•The Four Noble Truths
•The Eightfold Path.
Does anybody know of a book that covers all/any of these comprehensively? I'm still new to Buddhism and its teachings but so far I understand and agree with what I've read. I'm still confused on a major aspect, is this an Atheistic religion? I am perfectly happy wether or not it is, I just want to know as many of my christian, catholic, and jewish friends often ask me these sort of things and I can't give them straight answers.
Thank you very much to any and everybody that answers (or tries to) any of these questions!
