If you were going to suggest a book about world religions (awareness, mostly - don't need to go overboard), what would it be? I've purchased a couple, but the one I'm reading is annoying me... though I suppose that could be because I'm not exactly sure what I want out of it. So far, it has only made the case that religion has shaped history. Yes, duh.

Also, you might want to try typing in "Oxford World Religion" at amazon.com

Hm, yes, I can see that... that she doesn't really dare to tackle controversies too much.

With respect to Islam, I prefer the Ibn Warraq edited ones.

I think the main effect is it means they can't be read alone to get a balanced picture

I think for what you're looking for, Wikipedia and related online resources is all you need. *NM*
