I think for what you're looking for, Wikipedia and related online resources is all you need. *NM* Dan Send a noteboard - 01/09/2012 02:19:14 PM
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.

The best one I have is The Religious Experience of Mankind by Ninian Smart. Tom - 29/08/2012 02:09:14 AM 859 Views
Also, you might want to try typing in "Oxford World Religion" at amazon.com Tom - 28/08/2012 08:54:52 PM 829 Views
I'd recommend "The World's Religions" by Huston Smith ranagrande - 28/08/2012 09:35:59 PM 906 Views
I do own that. nossy - 28/08/2012 09:51:15 PM 874 Views

I've read her book on Muhammad snoopcester - 28/08/2012 10:38:31 PM 924 Views
Hm, yes, I can see that... that she doesn't really dare to tackle controversies too much. Legolas - 28/08/2012 11:03:11 PM 818 Views

He acts as editor on those books. Tom - 30/08/2012 04:04:45 PM 773 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 836 Views
