Customer comments on this selection.
 Required reading for anyone interested in different religions.
This review is for both The World's Religions and Illustrated World Religions. I will do as Lao Tzu and make this short and to the point. I have used this book in Sunday school, for the world history classes I teach, as reference to a book I am writing, and for general interest(s). I have recommended it to everyone who asks me questions about religion. One reason they ask me is because I have read this book.
 Original edition text cut in half
This is a nice book, worth a read. My only misgiving is that when I ordered it I expected the 1989 complete edition along with illustrations. Half of the text was cut, however, to make space for the illustrations it explains.
I feel they should explain that up front in the ad.

The Illus. World's Religions Guide to Our Wisdom Tradition
Huston Smith is the benchmark authority in the field of comparative religions. This illustrated edition of his classic work appropriately adds understanding and appreciation for the world's religions.
 Reasonable
I used this book for an independent study course on world religions. It was fairly user friendly and got me through ok, considering I only received a small amount of instructor time. Not something I would have selected on my own, but since I have it, I will keep it. Actually, if you were reading it for yourself and not fretting over an exam, it would be fairly interesting.
random illustrations
While this book has many many illustrations they are not tied in to the text in any meaningful way. It's as if they are just there for the sake of being there...
