Good for an Introduction

I read the vast majority of this text for a freshman religion course with prior knowledge of Judaism and Christianity, and I found the text to provide a good introductory overview of the religions. The text is short and sweet providing a surface level understanding of historical, theological and mystical events/topics of the three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) from an academic perspective. If you want a BASIC understanding of these religions, I recommend this book. If you want more in-depth knowledge, I'd look for books focusing specifically on one religion.
