Reviews
"World Religions Today is lively, clear, and very insightful; students will learn so much from every single page. One marvelous feat of this book is the way in which it relates contemporary developments to the history of a particular tradition without overlooking important new developments or innovations. The language does not oversimplify content and keeps the theoretical richness intact, and the concepts and traditions are covered in the best possible light."--Bassam Romaya, University of Massachusetts Lowell "This might be the best world religions textbook that I have encountered. It is erudite, very well written, and quite compelling."--Jonathan Ebel, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign "World Religions Today is unique in its consistent and thorough analysis of the relationship between modernity and modern religious movements. Its attention to the theoretical and cultural interventions introduced in the last fifty years really makes it an important and unique text."--Joseph Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis "The pedagogical devices are superb. Students read, and enjoy, the text boxes."--Alice L. Wood, Bethune-Cookman University "The writing style is engaging and clear. The material is not presented in a manner that is overly dry or clinical, and is written at a level that students can understand without feeling spoken down to."--Samuel Hopkins, Northern Arizona University, "World Religions Today is lively, clear, and very insightful; students will learn so much from every single page.
