Not a beginners text...

This is a wonderfully detailed and intense look at Religion. However, you need to read and study the book before you are actually ready to read and understand this book!! Not a beginers book, but an intense journey through the expressions, pathways, aims and critiques of Religion. The author sets this book up to merge different points together to understand the parts of religion and how they work together to create the terms of a religion. A wonderful book!!

Coherent, Readable Introduction To Religions

This was an articulate and easy to understand discourses of comparative religions with deeper insights. Provided clear summaries of religious thought, clearly intended for the lay person.
