Review :
'The book has a number of distinguished writers, and is a splendid achievement ... Warmly recommended.' - Epworth Review '... a refreshing and innovative approach that stimulates the subject and identifies its relevance to contemporary life and world affairs ... This is an important work that should have a significant effect on debates as to how we go about studying religion and why it is worth studying.' - Journal of Beliefs and Values '... this book is an excellent addition to the range of volumes available for introducing students to the world's religions. It overcomes many of the now questionable assumptions of existing texts in the area and can profitably be adopted to replace them.' - Journal of Contemporary Religion 'The book has a number of distinguished writers, and is a splendid achievement ... Warmly recommended.' - Martin Forward
