What is A Dictionary of religious and spiritual quotations about?
An expert on comparative religions presents over 3000 brief quotations under 177 topical headings. Typically, a section includes one quotation each from the Old and New Testaments and the Koran , then a broad selection by philosophers, theologians, poets, sociologists, psychologists, and even skeptics throughout the ages. The work provides world-wide coverage, with Islamic, Eastern, and aboriginal religions receiving almost as much representation as Judeo-Christianity. The universality of religious thought provides the collection's underlying theme. More for contemplative browsing than as a source of pithy sayings. Indexes not seen.-- Richard S. Watts, San Bernardino Cty. Lib., Cal. Copyright 1990 Cahners Business Information
