Reviews
I think the Fisher text's comprehensive coverage of the basics of each religion is commendable. Even if I don't teach every religion in the book (an impossible feat), I still direct students to those chapters as reference or further information. -Professor Jonathan Tan, Xavier University Plenty of examples are sited. Primary sources, personal interviews, etc. are all very useful for the students understanding of course topics. -Instructor Sarah McCombs, University of West Florida I do like that the material is organized somewhat historically, splitting between the "east" and the "west." I do not need to skip up and down the various chapters, which I like. -Instructor Dorcas Chung, Folsom Lake College The text is teachable in the sense that whereas Fisher does not problematize the information, the instructor has plenty of in-roads to do so while teaching. -Instructor Fotini Katsanos, University of North Carolina at Charlotte For an introductory text, I find it to be very accurate and representative of a solid textbook. I have looked over MANY simliar texts in the same genre, yet I find myself coming back to Living Religions again and again. -Jon Brammer, Three Rivers Community College The fisher text is good in providing both past and present persepctives. -Professor Leena Taneja, Stetson University, I think the Fisher text's comprehensive coverage of the basics of each religion is commendable.
