4.0 out of 5 stars
Good, basic overview of the East,
By Will Jerom (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scriptures of the East (Paperback)
Fieser and Powers have become established names in the trade of world religious texts. This introduction will certainly not disappoint, as it has presents a wide and responsible sampling of the major religious traditions living today. While I might quibble with some of their interpretations, or the rationale for some of their selections (I would have preferred much more on the Bhagavad Gita and less on the Laws of Manu, for example), I think they have produced a very useful and informative basic overview the scriptures of Eastern Traditions. Teachers will not be disappointed in selecting it, and students will be informed in reading it. It ranks very favorably with the Mary Pat Fisher editions and should be widely read. [please also note, I believe this text is a mere exact copy of the first half of their "Scriptures of World Religions"; Mary Pat Fisher has done much the same]
