I'd been looking for a book like this for a while. Great overview of the popular religions around the world, and the format was easy to navigate.

Compact overview about religions in the world. A bit short and general.

O trecere în revistă destul de decentă.

[Amy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very clearly identifies the differences between most of the major world religions. It doesn't go into great detail, but for those of us who are interested in simply broadening horizons vs. becoming encyclopedias, this book is perfect.

[Mary Ann (MAA) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Small book which makes it very portable (if you don't have an e-reader), good for quick reference.

[Rachael Hunt · Rating 4 out of 5]

Small, concise, helpful introductions to the different isms and schisms in religion. Great for quick reference and for beginner's basic understandings.

[Petter Nordal · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very clear and quite thorough overview of religious worldviews worldwide.

[Lauren · Rating 2 out of 5]

The most basic of info for distinguishing between denominations and sects - Maybe enough to answer a trivia questions, but very few details.
