A Comprehensive Resource

For the price of a few pennies plus shipping and posting, it is certainly worth it to own this comprehensive guide to religious thought with outstanding literature by great religionists and philosophers such as C.S. Lewis, Martin Buber, Paul Tillich, William James, Sigmund Freud, Neitzsche, Einstein, Emerson, Albert Schweitzer, Kiekegaard and others; including many from the non-Western traditions of religious thought such as Black Elk, Gandhi, Lin Yutang and D.T. Suzuki. Opinions range on everything from views on atheism to Christian charity to Hasidic Judaism to Zen Buddhism. This is an exellent resourse for any student of theology, philosophy, history or psychology. The chapters can be read in sequence or in random order and will no doubt challenge the reader to consider the "need to believe", "the will to believe", and "the meaning of love and freedom".
