Excellent book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This was a required textbook for my World Religions course. The book is very interesting and easy to read. While some of the scripture excerpts are difficult to read, the book explains them very well ahead of time to make it easier to understand and figure out. I definitely recommend this book for school related reading or just for fun reading! :)
Insightful and easy to use

Chapters are broken into subsections like "Traditions," "Ethics," etc. Full of stuff you didn't know about other religions. A must-have.

A good book with tid bits of scripture from each religion, generally including some of the most important passages. Great book.
Lots of substance, little context
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book presents basic religious texts of a variety of religions, eastern and western, with a more or less objective presentation. However, I found the introductory materials for each religion to be overly academic at times, sometimes raising as many questions as it answered. If you're looking for an entry-level survey of what the world's religions believe -- an interpretation of the doctrines these scriptures lay out -- this may not be the best resource available.I suspect this would make a fine textbook for a college-level survey of world religions, though I was familiar with several of them by the time I found this book. The layperson, looking for an introduction to what Buddhists, Muslims, or the Shinto actually believe, may be left scratching his or her head.
