The Complete Idiot's Guide to World Religions

My daughter's World Religion instructor recommended this book as an addition to the required text. It has short no-nonsense descriptions and is easy to use. Great price, too!


Good overview

This is an excellent book which gives a general overview of major world religions and some minor ones. It reviews several religious practices without judging them and would be beneficial to someone trying to better understand the background culture of certain region. I doesn't cover much depth, so it should be considered an introductory volume.


Religiously Enlightening

This book is much more user friendly than Religion for Dummies. It provides great information on the fundamentals and differences of not only the major religions of the world, but also alternative religions. Very interesting reading.

Good reference book

It does not go overly in depth with each religion nor does it present many alternative views on each religion however it does what it is supposed to do. This is a beginner's book to understanding some basic concepts within some of the Major world religions. Rituals and customs are briefly explained as well as core beliefs are outlined. This is a good book for anyone who is just getting into studying world religions and provides a good foundation as a quick reference book when having any sort of discussion with a person of faith. It also gives some tips on how one should approach a conversation with someone of a different faith. Overall very good for an entry level aspiring biblical scholar or anyone who has an interest in religion in general.
