Notes

This was a great unbiased book on the history of most of the worlds great religions. No pictures to speak of, but a few diagrams. It spells out the basic fundamentals of each religion without favoring or judging any of them. Great for getting a basic understanding of them all. I had the paperback and it wore out, so I tracked down this out of print hardback at Amazon.com, and of course they had it.
