Review
"The Patterns of Religion is not only a standard for other textbooks on the topic; it is a work of art."
"There are just enough reading selections to give the students a taste of scriptural (and other) sources without becoming too overwhelming as a single text."
"For a beginning student, it is perfect. For an advanced student, it is a great foundational text."
