Engaging and informative. A great introduction to world religions.
’The Religions Book’ is a great introduction to world religions. It features in-depth sections on Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, as well as featuring broader sections on primal beliefs, ancient and classical beliefs, and modern religions.The text is easy to follow, making it accessible to a wide range of readers, including those completely new to the subject, and it uses helpful graphics to summarise and clarify key concepts. Colourful illustrations help to break up the text, preventing any of the chapters from feeling too dense.I would recommend this book to anyone who is new to the subject or who is looking to refresh their knowledge. It will act as a solid jumping off point for further learning and will remain a useful reference text.

Excellent Overview of Religion
I bought this book as I felt my overall knowledge of religion was somewhat lacking – trying to find the right book is difficult? I wanted to be better informed but not an expert. So a decent overview is what I was looking for.This ‘DK’ book is just perfect in my opinion. It is absolutely packed with detail on all of the major religions, starting from ‘tribal’ religions some 3,000 years before Christ, right up to the ‘modern’ religions of the 20th century. Obviously the likes of Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam & Judaism get the most print time but I have learned so much from this excellent book. There are so many interesting facts about the religions from all over the world, their roots, their leaders / Gurus, Gods/ deities etc. that I found the read immensely satisfying.

The first time enjoyment has been injected into the reading of this topic.
I cannot commend this book enough. I bought it as a cheap pot shot at something that would summerise and consolidate a far reaching and complex topic.It is very well presented and makes enjoyable reading with thoughtful illustrations and images. Absolutely no bias and attempts to acknowledge past and present accross the world.A colourful order applied to what can often be an tangled web of complexity.
