Summary: Keeps Interest Alive
Comment: I am a college student and I have found this book to be an excellent text. It's written in real-world language, so I didn't spend half of my time looking up jargon that only history scholars would understand. The author writes sensibly but also keeps the reader's interest thorugh fabulous color pictures and the questions that he poses.

Summary: Experience, in addition to understanding
Comment: As a college teacher of world religions, I recommend this book. It covers the usual teachings associated with the major religions of the world (I have very few minor qualms about its accuracy). Three unusual features distinguish this book from the run-of-the-mill books that explain the religions.
The first is the copious use of colored photos which defintely add interest to the text. Second, the personal anecdotes of Molloy who visited many of the areas of the world. His reflections stimulate the readers' thoughts along the same vein.
Thirdly, perhaps more controversally, Molloy, in his last chapter, looks forward in time and tries to pinpoint those aspects of religion that may survive the acids of modern secular societies. If perchance the reader has somehow been snoosing through the book, this chapter should jolt him/her wide awake!
Molloy's emphasis is clearly on helping the reader to really try to experience these religions, not just to understand them.
