Easy reading
I bought this book because I started going to college and this textbook was required for my World Religions class. Honestly is my first textbook so I can compare with others but I am planning to keep it because it is very extensive in describing the major religions of the world. Easy reading. Even though I am a christian, I believe it is important to know about other religions to understand people better. This book was used but in good condition and a very economic price.

Experiencing the World's Religions by Michael Molloy
This is definitely one of the less worthless textbooks I've had to buy for a class. It explains concepts in a clear easy to understand manner, and promotes deeper thought into religion and it's various facets. I may actually keep it instead of selling it back. Overall a good purchase.
