واقعاً کتاب بی ارزشیه. فقط فصل اول مفید و آموزنده بود و بعدش دیگه فقط فصل‌های بی فایده. حتی توی فصل پدیدارشناسی دین خود مترجم‌ها هم صداشون دراومده بود که از بس این فصل مبهم و شتابزده بود، ما خودمون گشتیم یه توضیحاتی از منابع درآوردیم که معلوم بشه پدیدارشناسی دین اصلا چی هست. و بیست صفحه خودشون اضافه کردن به کتاب. وقتی خود مترجم‌ها اعتراض می‌کنن که این کتاب مبهم و شتابزده است، دیگه می‌فهمی که باید کتاب رو ول کنی.
