More of a gazeteer of the world's major religions than an apologetic for Christianity, this Spectator's Guide, written by a Christian, examines each faith in the light of the author's Christian faith. But what he does is to approach each religion on its own terms, making this book different from others that either treat them in Christian terms or else put all religions on the same level (including Christianity). Each religion is dealt with in multiple chapters, thus letting each aspect to take the space it needs to accurately inform the reader.
