This was a good book for a class I had to take. Gave good insight to different world religions, can be a difficult read at times depending on different sections of the book there are parts that take parts directly from scripture so sometimes difficult to understand. Overall I'm sure the professor for the class could have chosen a more difficult book so this wasn't half bad.

It is a good book that details the different religions. It is very helpful and useful for my world of religions college course

All just selections from texts. Required for a class but I wouldn't recommend buying to read for fun

As described

excat book i need for class and at a better price than the rental at school.
