[Beatriz]

I've finally finished, I can barely believe it. I actually enjoyed it, in a somewhat masochist way.

[Karen Walker]

This is an excellent overview of world religions, past and present.

While some consider it old, I consider it comprehensive. Used in my class on "Religion/Ethnicity in Media and the Arts."
