Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: An Anthology of Sacred Texts By and About Women (Paperback)
This book has been a great reference tool that's allowed me to read excerpts from religious texts as well as folklore that I would have had a hard time finding on my own. It brought a lot of info together in one place. I also really liked that not only did each section have an introduction about the religion, but each excerpt had an explanation of what the story said so that when the language was obscure I had some help understanding it. I also liked that it didn't try to analyze the excerpts, it just gave them and left it up to the reader to decide what they ultimately meant.
