World Faiths Made Understandable

As a long time student of the Christian faith, I felt that my understanding of other world religions was embarassingly small. Harvey Cox gives the reader a good deal of respectful and well presented information - about Hinduism, the Muslim faith, Buddism, and Judaism - all in the winsome light of his own experience of Christianity. The book seems quite contemporary, though it was originally published in the late eighties, as Cox writes of his concern about the rise of fundamentalism in both the Muslim and Christian worlds.
