"This compendium of World Religions serves as a valuable reference work for layman and scholar. The authors devoted several years in researching, analyzing and organizing this work. Their research involved extensive travel and combing through volumes of manuscripts and conversations with the converts of various religions. The material is presented in an unbiased and objective manner that allows the reader to easily compare the teachings of a particular religion with their faith.
Furthermore, the material is organized systematically enabling the reader to easily navigate the principal tenants of each religion. Along with the theological and philosophical foundations, the authors present in logical sequence the historical, social and cultural backgrounds that influenced the development of each religion.
Accuracy and authenticity are hallmarks of this work. The compendium has served as a basic textbook in college classes for over a decade and has stood the scrutiny of students and scholars. One is drawn into the work largely due to the clarity of thought and readability of the material. It is rare to find a work of this nature that lends itself useful to student and scholar. This work will serve student and instructor well in the study of world religions."

"With the Internet changing the world in ways past generations never imagined, understanding other peoples, cultures and religions has become crucial. Gary Antion and Douglas Ruml have produced a compact resource that will prove invaluable to those involved in international business, and will help avoid mis-understandings across a wide spectrum of human activity. Part of the power of the book comes from the organization of the material. Each religion is presented in the same format and under the same headings. It makes finding what you are looking for a cinch. This is a valuable book to have close at hand, whether you are a writer, a business person, or just curious about what you hear on the news."
