This book showed me in my teenage years that Christianity was simply one amongst many world religions. I found that the author's approach was however syncretistic and anthropological rather than analytic and philosophical, and that it did not point the way towards an intelligible world view.
Feeling stimulated, though dissatisfied with the book led me on a quest for a principle, philosophy or practice overarching or transcending all merely adventitious or sectarian prejudices and attitudes, a show more quest that was eventually successful when I discovered an effective Buddhist sangha or spiritual community. I am grateful, therefore, to the author of this book, which was for me at that time a stepping stone to the other shore of all religious study and striving - the Enlightened mind of man. show less

La scienza moderna ha studiato la storia delle religioni con il metodo comparativo, rivelando i reciproci rapporti tra le varie manifestazioni di quell'esperienza fondamentale dell'umanità che consiste nella ricerca di Dio e delle verità eterne. Ma questi problemi, nonostante il loro fascino, non sono ancora sufficientemente divulgati tra il grande pubblico, sopratutto per quanto riguarda le religioni dell'India e dell'Estremo Oriente, seguite da centinaia di milioni di individui e basate show more su di una tradizione millenaria. A.C. Bouquet, teologo e specialista di sicura dottrina, ha tracciato in questa Breve storia delle religioni una sintesi ricca e suggestiva della materia, riassumendo i risultati delle ricerche più recenti in un linguaggio chiaro e discorsivo, riferendo aneddoti che stimolano la curiosità del lettore e illustrando le proprie tesi con una scelta dei testi sacri più importanti di ogni religione trattata. show less
