内容简介 在线阅读本书
专业书评 From School Library Journal Grade 5-8–These books were originally published in one volume–
The Kingfisher Book of Religions (1999)–with material added on ancient religions and traditional beliefs.
Hinduism crams six Eastern religions into 29 pages of text and is totally unacceptable, with glaring omissions. The three other titles actually expand on their original entries, with varying results; in
Judaism it leads to unnecessary repetition, while
Christianity and
Islam make better use of the additional space. The books are visually attractive, with eye-catching covers, but that is one of their few strengths. Maps are absent or inadequate. Not all unusual or new terms used in the text are found in the glossaries, and many definitions are inadequate and confusing. Corresponding titles in Geoff Teece's Religion in Focus series (Smart Apple, 2004) are practical and appealing but have a British bias and sometimes awkward writing; Sue Penney's World Beliefs and Cultures series (Heinemann Library, 2000) are comprehensive but stodgily written.
