Living Religions (9th Edition)

It serves its purpose. Unfortunately, I didn’t like my class but the book was very good.

Some of the pages were highlighted, but overall good.

I opted for the rental option then realized i no longer needed this book. Not sure if i prefer the rental option as the book seems somewhat dirty. Who knows whose hands have been on the book before you? At the same time i hate the price of buying text books in general. I would recommend an ebook option whenever possible. You can also ask your professor if having the text is 100% necessary bc most don't even use text books.

This is a good, non-critical overview of current major world religions. If you are interested in the history and basic tenets, and major cultural influences of the world religions, this is a good start. If you are looking for a more critical evaluation of beliefs, look elsewhere.

It was the correct book that we needed for class. I learned a lot about other religions but the viewpoint was from an outsider, not someone who practiced the religions. This doesn't allow you to learn the true feelings associated between a person and God.

This textbook was required for my world religions class. It is an easy read and the information provided is detailed, informative and easy to read. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the chapters.

The book is great but my class ended before I could use the book...

This is a textbook, and my assumption was that all 9th edition texts would be the same, but evidently different colleges can make modifications, and even though my school is using this edition, the chapters are in a different order, and each chapter is a little different in the way the parts are put together.

Needed this book for my religious class. The text book's back was so dirty and shows signs of scratches. If it wasn't the last copy and I needed this book urgently for my class I would definitely return it. Unacceptable.
