Customer Reviews

Good reference for writers

As a columnist myself, I found the last few chapters about how the media covers religion and religious issues most interesting.

Plain Talk

I purchased this book to get a glimpse of each of these religions and how they differ, Admittedly I knew more about Judiasm than the others. Still I had not realized the extent of persecution they have endured. This book is written in easily understood fashion and I aplaud the author for not trying to brow beat his readers with scholarly and uppity importance. How nice to pick up a book on Religion and know that readers would not have to have a degree to understand the information. Beverly J Scott, Author

Read the book if you want to learn something about religions

I almost passed on this book based on other reviews! This book is well written and balanced. I suspect the other reviewers are followers of, or members of the typical liberal "inteligentisia"!
