I admit that I have always been fascinated about other religions. Their beliefs, practices, and histories are all so different.

Woods writes of the history, views on salvation and the afterlife, the nature of God, the sacred texts, and etc… of 50 world religions. Some of the religions explained are:
Universism
Scientology
Islam

Christian Science
Kabbalah
Taoism
Wicca

Vodou (Voodoo)
Judaism

The information is given in a simple and fair manner. This would make a great resource for a student of religion, sociology, or history. I just hope that Wood makes a similar book of Christian denominations.
