4.0 out of 5 stars A scholarly treatment of world religions., March 17, 1999
By 
This review is from: A Handbook of Living Religions (Paperback)
The treatment of each tradition varies depending on the perspective of the various authors. Some emphasize structure, others ideology, and yet others the historical story. This reader appreciates the detail provided but finds it difficult to relate one tradition with the other. Graphs and charts are helpful but are not consistent between various traditions. This volumn is for the student of religions who has a background and intends to continue the study.
