Editorial Reviews Publishers Weekly Detailed, absorbing, richly illustrated, and highly readable, this work presents the essential elements and teachings of each of the predominant world religions, including primal religions, and illuminates each with full-color illustrations.

Read an Excerpt Chapter One Point of Departure Traditionally, When People Wanted Answers to life's ultimate questions - Where are we? Why are we here? What does it all mean?

These must be listed at the outset or the reader will be misled. This is not a book about religious history. This.
