Recenzii
"I
think
that
the
authors
have
done
a
good
job
of
approaching
the
dynamics
of
the
varied
religions
with
an
appropriate
balance
of
coverage."
-
Theresa
Gilbertson,

"The
author's
approach
is
purely
descriptive,
which
allows
me
to
provide
my
own
interpretation
of
the
material
during
lecture.
I
like
the
historical
approach
of
the
text.
That
provides
the
text
with
an
orderly
structure
of
the
material."
-
Curtis
Smith,

"I
like
the
appendix
information
about
writing
a
Term
Paper
and
a
Religious
Visit
Paper.
The
Internet
Research
Guide
would
also
be
helpful
to
students."
