by Manfred Wundram, Ingo F. Walther (Editor)

Reviews

[Noah Goats · Rating 2 out of 5]

A great selection of works, but this thing is written in stilted, ugly, academic prose, and the pictures are not very sharp.

[Angela · Rating 5 out of 5]

this book covers full color examples of almost all religions and includes a timeline at the bottom of the page so the reader can tell what else was going on during the time period. Wonderful for your own armchair education or for memory care story hours, used sparingly.
