Review :
“Daniel McCoy has assembled a tremendous team of contributors who are passionate experts in their respective fields. The Popular Handbook of World Religions is a true "Swiss Army Knife” for every reader interested in understanding various religious systems. This highly unique and multifaceted volume not only presents the facts about the world’s most prolific religions, it offers the reader compelling and practical ways to move the religious discussion forward—in love! For this reason, The Popular Handbook of World Religions’ clear and concise content is a must-read for anyone seeking to make a real and measurable difference in an often misunderstood and contentious discipline. Every serious student, missionary, pastor, and evangelist must read this volume!” —Joseph M. Holden, PhD, president, Veritas International University, author, The Harvest Handbook of Apologetics “I’ve been wishing for a long time that a book like this would be published! This is a truly accessible guide to world religions, with just the right amount of detail, and written in a compelling way. I have no doubt it will be my go-to recommendation on the subject for years to come.” —Natasha Crain, speaker and author of three books, including Talking with Your Kids about Jesus “The Popular Handbook of World Religions is an excellent resource with a wealth of insight on an array of critical topics for anyone ministering cross-culturally. Rather than settle for dry, encyclopedic entries, the contributors use an engaging narrative style that provides valuable context without sacrificing nuance. The chapters offer balanced perspectives yet with concision and clarity, which makes the book useful for practitioners and scholars alike.” —Jackson Wu, Theologian in Residence, Mission ONE
