Great Book!!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was easy to understand and well organized. I was able to learn a lot about Eastern Religions with this book that I got an 'A' in my Religions class. Yay!
Excellent Primer on the World's Religions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
An excellent introduction to the world's primary religious and wisdom traditions: their origins, major tenets, peculiarities and similarities across the spectrum, and contemporary manifestations. Along with the companion book, An Anthology of Living Religions, this text offers a solid study in the world's religions.
This book is an AWESOME resource!

I have never read a religious studies book so focued and well researched. Mary Pat Fisher truly shows she knows what she it writing about. This book not only provides thought-provoking questions at the end of each chapter, but it is also full of wonderful illustrations! A picture really is worth a thousand words. I couldn't be happier with it.

I found the book to be very informative. I also enjoyed having the CD to review the the chapters. That was a plus for me.
Best I've Seen
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I teach world religions and have used many different textbooks. This book has always been among the best, and the fourth edition is definitely the best--has made a lot of substantial improvements over earlier editions. Fisher is sympathetic, engaging, accessible and yet scholarly, up-to-date, thorough, and accurate. Many great pictures and side box interviews really help students understand the material, and so does the website with on-line tests and web links associated with the book chapters. If you saw an earlier edition and weren't terribly impressed, you need to take a new look at the 4th edition! Finally, a world religion survey to please both students and professors! Hard to improve on.
