This is a fascinating one-volume version of Frazier's masterwork on the history of religion(s). It's a book that any person concerned with spirituality, comparative religion, and/or the precedents of customs (worship/prayer/"sin", atonement, purification, birth, coming-of-age, death, etc.) still followed today should have on hand as a reference. It is not a book for fundamentalists whether Christian, Muslim, or any other major world religion, as it emphasizes the historical development of "beliefs" rather than "revelations."
