\u201cThis book could well be the most highly readable, accurate, and up-to-date introduction to the world\u2019s major religions. It does so by avoiding either polemics or the naive equating of them all as merely different paths to the same summit. Prothero faces the real differences among them squarely, but demonstrates how these differences can enrich, not prevent, dialogue and cooperation.\u201d \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Harvey Cox, author of\u00a0The Future of Faith<\/p>\n
