A perennial best-seller, this collection of readings remains a favorite of teachers of world religions for its impartial tone and its balance of major contemporary religious traditions with primitive, ancient, and esoteric religions.

Absorbing,
By Luv2Travel "book worm" (Philadelphia PA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sacred Texts of the World: A Universal Anthology (Paperback)
This text is well written, easily understood and absorbing. I believe that understanding others' beliefs is helpful in the understanding and acceptance of the diverse culture we live in as the world 'shrinks.'

Brilliant reference work,
By Santeria "Son of Tazz" (Tallahassee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sacred Texts of the World: A Universal Anthology (Paperback)
Absolutely well done reference work. Professor Smart and his co-author have collated a set of representative material that show the faiths of the world in a clear and erudite light.
The book presents all of the world religions in a favorable light, since the purpose is not a critique, but a selection of texts that show each faith in the best possible manner. After meeting Professor Smart in the 80s, I can safely say that the style of the book well represents his brilliant style. Highly useful, and cogently exact.

Translations,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sacred Texts of the World: A Universal Anthology (Paperback)
This anthology covers a lot of ground. However, I found the Qu'aran translation much too difficult to read. Other translations tend to use stilted or outdated language.
