Reviews

Excellent, cutting-edge scholarship, compellingly written and made accessible to undergraduates. . . . This is a top-notch book. --Michele Murray, Bishop's University Extremely readable. . . . An excellent introduction to the topic. . . . The chapters do a very good job introducing students to the religious tradition in question, and the structure of each chapter, despite the different authors, helps the student of comparative religion to analyze the information. --Ariana Patey, Memorial University of Newfoundland
