Review # 1 was written on 2008-02-11 00:00:00 Stephen Wong I actually have a hardback copy of this book that was published in 1934 which made it that much more interesting to me. There's something about the smell of an old book that is intoxicating. This book covers primitive religion, religion in China, Confucianism, Taoism, religion in Japan, Shinto, relitgion in India, Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, the Zorastrian Parsis, the Sikhs and their religion, the Hebrew-Jewish faith, the religion of Jesus and Christianity, and the Moslem religion. It is fascinating to me to read about other religions, their beliefs, and values. This book was written by a professor of comparative religion at Yale for his students. The copy I have has hand-written notes of a woman that took his class.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-11-04 00:00:00 Nate Devries Shel Arensen is right on target when he says, "Whether we realize it or not, we desperately need to spend time with God." Many of us realize it, but only sporadically. No sooner do we sense he's the one we're longing for, that he's the cold refreshment for our parched throats, then we turn to lesser streams that cannot quench our thirst. We let that still small voice of God get buried under the din of our busyness. Television, radio, email, classes, sports, business trips, chores, hobbies. Up early, to bed late. Music turned up loud. Talk shows where we hear from everybody but the One who knows everything.
