I got an A in my Religion class, so it was a pretty helpful book.
A good starting point for understanding world religions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Although this book is not as nuanced as Huston Smith's classic book, "World Religions," it is a good introduction to the major religions of the world today, including the ancient religions of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome. It is written in an easy, narrative style. It focuses on rituals and beliefs, and does not focus on concepts or the philosophical assumptions of each religion. Like any introductory book, it is a very simplified explanation of each religion. Simplifying a complex religious system results in some distortion of the variety found in each religion's expression. I use this book as my text in a World Religions course. It is a good starting point for someone who has no background in the many religions of the world.
