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 significant insights into the lesser known religions, such as Jainism, Vedantism and Yoga, Taoism, Confucianism and Shintoism. It even has a chapters on primitive religions and Humanism! A perfect textbook for the comparative religion classes as well as an excellent resource for the general reader.
