Review # 1 was written on 2017-09-11 00:00:00 Susan Peterson This is a collection of "biopics" and basic rundowns of European thinkers on "religion" framed chronologically. While sometimes insightful for trivia or a subtle connection or two between thinkers, a student is better off just reading the primary thinkers themselves (in addition to many others). Some of Strenski's critics call him "anti-religious." I see what they're saying but don't fault him for that. It's mainly an exhausting work for an ultimately limited scope of thought on these matters.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-01-23 00:00:00 Nigel Rabbetts Reading this across most of 2020 in anticipation of our Book Oblivion discussions! Quite a range of thinkers here.
