He acts as editor on those books. Tom Send a noteboard - 30/08/2012 04:04:45 PM
I read his Why I am Not a Muslim and found it just irritating. On the other hand, the books that he has edited are a mix of good articles and bad ones. Some of the less compelling ones are a bit dated, but others are recent scholarship and quite good. I'm just saying it's a mixed bag.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

The best one I have is The Religious Experience of Mankind by Ninian Smart. Tom - 29/08/2012 02:09:14 AM 784 Views
Also, you might want to try typing in "Oxford World Religion" at amazon.com Tom - 28/08/2012 08:54:52 PM 758 Views
I'd recommend "The World's Religions" by Huston Smith ranagrande - 28/08/2012 09:35:59 PM 840 Views

I think the main effect is it means they can't be read alone to get a balanced picture snoopcester - 29/08/2012 05:19:55 PM 778 Views
I think for what you're looking for, Wikipedia and related online resources is all you need. *NM* Dan - 01/09/2012 02:19:14 PM 366 Views
