5.0 out of 5 stars
Absorbing
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.'

Translations
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 Other translations tend to use stilted or outdated language.

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.

The book arrived in 2 days, in excellent condition! It really appears to be new, I couldn't believe that it was used.
