Larson's Book of World Religions & Alternative Spirituality,

This review is from: Larson's Book of World Religions and Alternative Spirituality (Paperback)
This book deals with World Religions and Alternative Spirituality like the title tells us. It gives a description of what they believe and the Christian response to them. Because there are so many there is limited space for info on them. There is enough info for you to know what they believe. He also gives sources if you want to do any further studies on a group. I think it is a good book to have.

This review is from: Larson's Book of World Religions and Alternative Spirituality (Paperback)
This is a book that I bought for a seminary class that I was attended. WASTE OF MONEY.
If you think that you can know religions through other eyes, you are wrong. Do you really want to know what someone else thinks about God? Read what he himself writes about it. For example, if you want to know who the mormons are and what they think about God, read their publications. Some people are not prepare to do that, so, if it is your case, look for another introduction.
