The Ways of Religion: An Introduction to the Major Traditions by Roger Eastman
This is a fully revised edition of an anthology in comparative world religions. It surveys all of the major religious traditions - Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the African religions - as well as covering Zen Buddhism and the religious experience in America. The author allows each tradition to speak in its own voice, excerpting passages from its scriptures, prophets and distinguished authors.
