5.0 out of 5 stars
Great read
Not exhaustive by any means, but if you are looking to read sacred texts from many different religions, then this is a fabulous overview. A little from here, a little from there...it can help to give a person a general idea of what was taught and help a reader to know what they may be interested in looking into further. This book is sizable too, you get your money's worth...

3.0 out of 5 stars
A quality anthology of non-Western religious texts
Mircea Eliade, the former professor from the University of Chicago, who was well known for his research on Shamanism, selected some of the basic sources from various traditions to present a solid introduction into the world's sacred writings. The book is not meant to be exhaustive, nor does it include any commentary by the great scholar - rather it is a resource of texts...

A quality anthology of non-Western religious texts,
By Michael Schelb (Boca Raton, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essential Sacred Writings From Around the World (Paperback)
Mircea Eliade, the former professor from the University of Chicago, who was well known for his research on Shamanism, selected some of the basic sources from various traditions to present a solid introduction into the world's sacred writings. The book is not meant to be exhaustive, nor does it include any commentary by the great scholar - rather it is a resource of texts to enable research, study or simply the casual reading of these non-Western traditions. Eliade initially compiled this work to be used in his classes. A good source for students of philosophy and anthropology.
