Customer Reviews

Great summary of the religions...

This is a beautiful book which would serve as a great display book. The images and printing are very intricate, and the author provides a stunning look at the different religions. This book is great for a summary of the generally most followed religions, but is more intended for show and general information. This book might not be appropriate, for instance, for the scholar who intends to learn about the intricate details of most of the religions of the world. As in most books about religion, Christianity seems to occupy the most space in this book.
