Customer comments on this selection.

Religious Good general reference on non-western religions
Overall, the book provides a good general desk reference on religion, and is helpful in my field of religion reporting for newspapers. While it provides extensive coverage of non-Western religious traditions, however, it is somewhat lacking in its entries on American religious movements. There is no entry for the "chavurah" movement in Judaism, for example, scant information about Charismatics and just a page and a half about Pentecostals, who represent the fastest growing branch of Chrisitianity in the world and seem to merit more space. Perhaps a future edition could expand its coverage of these more mainstream movements.
