"Professor Burke's approach is one which I think would be
appealing in those contexts (particularly one semester courses) for
which it is designed. The inclusion of sources in the book, if
designed for one-semester use, is an excellent idea, and
furthermore, I think that Professor Burke's selection of sources is
remarkably apt. Pedagogically, I think that the book is well done:
it will be accessible and interesting to students, and it has
plenty of examples." Professor Dewey D. Wallace Jr., George
Washington University
"This book is the best, brief description available currently of the origins, tenets and ways of worship of the world's great religions aimed at beginning students. T. Patrick Burke writes in a clear and easily understandable style that will help the reader go back to it regularly to grasp the essentials of faith and its role in the society." Murray Friedman, Director, The Myer and Rosaline Feinstein Center for American Jewish History at Temple University
