Informative & Easy to Understand

The right level of detail for someone interested in learning about the major religions. Easy to stay engaged to the reader/voice actor. The accompanying PDF includes a timeline of major events for each religion. I would've appreciated a single timeline so one could see how things developed over time, but I'll just do that on my own

This book helped me see other prospective of religion and helped me justify that the Catholic Church will now and forever will be the one true church of Jesus Christ ✝️🇻🇦

Wonderful Introduction

A good "bird's eye view" of the world's 7 most oldest religions. The performance made it very easy to digest and 2x listening speed as well.

Really easy to understand explanations

With every thing going on in the world, I wanted to revisit and understand more about basics of the various religions and their place geopolitically. Though this won’t get into the cultural and geopolitics, it’s a really good high-level overview of the basics. I like how it’s broken down into questions and answers that are easy to understand. I think this is a good start if you wish to understand the various religions.

simple learning

short, informtive, organized in order to learn, good presentation, clearly performed, wished more religions would have been included.
