Reliable, in-depth resource on world religions

A reference book on religions that is readable and even compelling. The detail on backgrounds and structural formats of 33 religious traditions helps the reader to begin developing a comprehensive view of world religions.

To see religions "in the light of day" enables a person to makes ones own decision in an informed manner.
