An upper-intermediate non-fiction reader on the world's belief systems: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, the smaller and indigenous traditions — and an equal-time look at atheism and agnosticism. Factual, warm and even-handed, ending with the one rule almost every tradition arrived at independently.
