The Religion Book: Places Prophets Saints and Seers (The Seeker Series)

About this book

A musician turned minister Willis presents a reference for general readers to topics concerning the five world religions and many religions and philosophical systems of smaller groups that have been investigated and sometimes revived over the past years and decades. Among the topics are general concerns such as faith and cult. Each of the nearly 200 entries identifies sources which tend to be modern and easily accessible works. They are not cross-referenced but the index is thorough. There are about 100 black-and-white photographs and other illustrations. Annotation 2004 Book News Inc. Portland OR (booknews.com)
