Religion in America (6th Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book provides a very good, basic framework for looking at many of the major Christian denominations in America, as well as a brief look at other world religions in America. I used this book in a "Religion and Popular Culture" class in college, and am now using it to teach a class at my church. The book also has very good study questions, and many good website links.

Jews, Christians, Muslims: A Comparative Introduction to Monotheistic Religions (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A tour de force. Corrigan manages to provide literary, historical, mythological themes and contexts that illuminate current practice and belief.I found the details of this book enlarged my understanding of why and how these religions have many common strains and where they depart from one another.It also explains how the traditions of each,along with the practice,ethics and politics keep each vital enough in different countries and changing times to keep them going. A very weighty and multidimensional subject written with much grace. It's not only excellent as a reference book, it also holds up as a fascinating read.
