Rating: - Must-read for beginners in comparative religion
I found this book while getting my masters in religious education. Twenty-four years later, I still go back to it. I bought an extra copy a few years ago at Strand's in New York. I wish I had enough copies to hand out to persons that I meet who are curious about other religions. A new hard-cover publication, with new bindings, would be wonderful.

There is a new edition for this title which is A History of the World's Religion by David S. Noss.

I use these grouping in my classes: religions of India, religions of east Asia, and religions of the Middle East. I particularly like the balance between history and belief systems.
I have often recommended this book to others ... Read More
