Religion: A Study in Beauty, Truth, and Goodness
A Study in Beauty, Truth, and Goodness covers the wide array of elements, including the concepts of ultimate being, scripture, ritual, morality, and beauty, which make up the fascinating entity known as religion. Taking a phenomenological approach that emphasizes the standpoint of the religious believer--a view from the inside of religion--Kent Richter uses the categories of experience, belief, and behavior ("Beauty, Truth, and Goodness") as a way to think about religion in general. This approach helps students understand both the great variety in religious traditions and the internal coherence that religion holds for its practitioners.

I read this for my world religions class and honestly was so disappointed. He constantly danced around what he actually wanted to say and spend paragraphs upon paragraphs stating something that could have easily been said in one sentence. I also learned absolutely nothing about any of the religions but more on what religion is and basically the philosophy behind it and the meaning of the words used in religion. His writing style made me want to tear my eyeballs out.
