If you were going to suggest a book about world religions (awareness, mostly - don't need to go overboard), what would it be? I've purchased a couple, but the one I'm reading is annoying me... though I suppose that could be because I'm not exactly sure what I want out of it. So far, it has only made the case that religion has shaped history. Yes, duh.

I suppose this is sort of a survey. Or not. Whatever: world religions

Also, you might want to try typing in "Oxford World Religion" at amazon.com

Hm, yes, I can see that... that she doesn't really dare to tackle controversies too much.

With respect to Islam, I prefer the Ibn Warraq edited ones.

I think the main effect is it means they can't be read alone to get a balanced picture
