Highly regarded for his objective, scientific approach to examining religion, Ward J. Fellows provides the introductory comparative religion student with an intimate view of the central tenets, scriptures, and practices of the world's religions. The Second Edition of Religions East and West provides an updated look at the seven major religions of the world from a postmodern, pluralist viewpoint while retaining the succinct organization and structure, and praiseworthy literary, doctrinal, and ethical aspects of the First Edition.
