The World's Living Religions is an authoritative study of comparative religion, Oriental and Occidental, by one of the foremost scholars in the field. It differs from other similar works on the subject in that, in addition to a detailed study of the five major religions-Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam-the book also offers an insight into the lesser known religions, such as Jainism, Vedantism, Taoism, Confucianism and Shintoism.
"...This compact, introductory treatment is impartial, insightful and shows the author to be well informed... one can express enthusiasm for a good book by a thoughtful scholar." Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion
