This has a nice treatment of faith concepts, and would be an excellent resource for people contemplating various religions… but I marvel that it hardly mentions the most recent, fastest growing, most widespread (next to Christianity) independent world religion: the Baha’i Faith. This is odd, especially given that the Baha’i's acknowledge the unity of God, of all religions, and of humanity, and especially given that the founder of the Faith has over 100 volumes of scripture available for study. I think it warrants more attention in any book that proposes to compare religions; and the omission is an unfortunate one.

IF YOU ENJOY READING THE ENCYCLOPEDIA, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK. HAVE YOU EVER HAD TO SIGN A LEGAL DOCUMENT AND ATTEMPTED TO READ IT BEFORE SIGNING IT. EVEN THOUGH YOU UNDERSTAND THE WORDS, THE WAY THEY ARE PUT TOGETHER MAKES THEM MEANINGLESS. IT’S LIKE THEY ARE PURPOSELY TRYING TO CONFUSE YOU. THAT IS HOW I FELT ABOUT THIS BOOK. THE CONTENTS SEEMED TO BE VERY INTERESTING BUT THE WRITING FELT LIKE SOMETHING ALEX TREBECK WOULD DO.
Rating: 3 / 5
