Great overview
Wilkinson and DK have done a great job providing a basic overview of the world's major religions as well as a few smaller sects and more modern movements. The book is not comprehensive but is a great beginner's resource for those who want an overview without tons of detail to wade through.

The book is not comprehensive but is a great beginner's resource for those who want an overview without tons of detail to wade through. Lots of visuals and short blurbs of information hold my attention well. If you want an in-depth book that compares religions, get Huston Smith's World Religions. I'm using this book to teach a high school level class in World Religions and it is about perfect. For the cost, you won't regret buying this one.
