I've read a lot of books that describe the belief systems of the major religions of the world, but this is the most instructive and creative I've encountered. Most books are written by Christians in their own words and much of the conversation is about deconstructing those religions. Scott was invited to attend a symposium about religion in order to present Christianity as a faith to the attendees. Representatives from all of the other major religions were also invited, so Scott recorded their speeches in order to give the reader a view of those faiths from actual believers' mouths.

This book is a great resource for those who want to learn more about the world's major religions. It is written from a Christian perspective, but it is respectful and honorable in its treatment and presentation of the major religions. It even goes so far as to point out what Christians can learn from other religions, while at the same time pointing out places where other religions and Christianity diverge. It is easy to get through and will give the reader plenty to think about and discuss.
