Finally a book about Religions that comes from a non-biased perspective. No proving one is right while another is wrong, just basic tenants that most practicioners follow. ( )

I am a big fan of this serious for its simple summaries to whet your appetite on topics. It is a great jumping board to give you a quick big picture and some vocabulary to start off, even help narrow your search for further study (after all, isn't tough sometimes when you don't even have the words for a search engine or library keyword search?). This book was no exception.

The real downside is the visuals. While technically good (polished, good technique, etc.), they offer no information or ability to picture any of the concepts discussed in the accompanying text. They are a waste of paper at first glance, except that they ensure you are not inundated with too much text on one page. They help with the pacing, nothing more.

Overall, if you found you didn't learn enough about other religions in the past, this is a good starter book to give you a quick idea. However, you will likely need another book to go more in depth. ( )

This is a beautiful little book that describes the world’s religions from Anglicanism to Zoroastrianism. For anyone trying to organize the chaos of faith and belief this is an excellent place to start. ( )
