Introduction to World Religions is a first rate work for familiarizing one’s self with a vast array of religious worldviews that bring perspective and purpose to untold millions. It will also serve as an excellent resource for researches wanting a handy reference to turn to time and again for that succinct summary or statement putting special aspects of a respective world religion into perspective. I highly recommend it.
