Anatomy of the Sacred: An Introduction to Religion

My daughter bought this and then re-sold it very quickly so I had only 24 hours to review it, but I was impressed. I have long been a student of this field (a philosophy major 47 years ago) so I love different views and new information, and this books delivers. I think I see a bit of a "prejudice" in that the author may give a bit more validity to religion than I do (I think all religions are products of undisciplined and unrestrained imaginations), but he does a better job than I might at staying fairly neutral. This is not a quick read. But if you want a great jumping off point for further study this would be as good as you might find. The references alone are worth the price of the book.

I think this was a great buy. The item came fast and in pretty good conditions. It had somescratched in the cover but everything else was pretty good.

This book has a lot of good information. It is a good INTRODUCTION to religion, but it doesn't get too into any of the topics which is good if you just want a broad over view of the main religious issues in society. If you want some detailed information on a particular religion then this book would only be a starting point, after reading it I would suggest it to anyone who just wants to know a little bit more about religion.

This book is a great buy for anyone curious about learning more about religion. I know it's a textbook, but I bought it to satisfy curiosity. I recommend it.

This book is good if you want to know about defining religion. Great for religion students on any level
