Description/Notes
This collection of readings balances the major contemporary religious traditions with primitive, ancient, & esoteric religions. Richly annotated, the collection is presented with impartiality. A well-annotated, impartial anthology of key texts from world religions--including the primitive, ancient, and esoteric alongside the living faiths of both Western and Eastern cultures... The excerpts are grouped by faiths and subclassified by type: sacred narratives, doctrines, rituals, institutional expressions, experience, and ethics...There are good bibliographies at the end of each.A.L.A.
