Reviews
"With an accessible style and a simple and consistent format, Invitation to World Religions, Second Edition, is a clear and concise introduction to world religions. Each chapter surveys the basic teachings, history, and ways of life of a religion, with emphases on the unity and diversity within religious traditions and communities, as well as on the daily lives of religious individuals. In addition to answering life's 'big questions' (What exists? Who am I? What's important? How should I live? etc.), the text considers why and what it means for people to be religious--from personal and cultural values and motives, to holidays, clothes, food, and so forth. Practical, well-illustrated, and engaging, Invitation to World Religions is the best introductory textbook on the market."--Glenn Snyder, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis "Brodd's Invitation to World Religions is better structured, livelier, and despite being somewhat more sophisticated, more accessible than Molloy's Experiencing the World's Religions. I especially like the structure of the chapters and the 'Seeking Answers' questions that close each chapter."--S. T. Campagna-Pinto, California State University, Bakersfield "The authors have a clear, smooth style of prose that is easy to read. It is perfect for students. The authors' expertise shows through. This book's breadth of coverage is what makes it book distinctive. I was quite amazed with the supplemental resources for the book. I have read and/or reviewed nearly every major World Religion textbook and have never found one with resources that I could use. The vocabulary flashcards are quite innovative and the various quizzes and tests will help students study the chapters. The PowerPoints are actually slides that I would use in class. Perhaps the best resource is the CNN video library. It is the type of material that I now look for on the internet. I see no equal to Invitation to World Religions at the present time."--Kenneth Atkinson, University of Northern Iowa "This text excels in leading the reader/student toward compassion and understanding. Brodd is consistent and thorough, showing a sensitivity that makes the book stand out."--James A. Zeller, San Joaquin Delta College "Invitation to World Religions is a well-written and conceptualized book that is accessible to students and helps them to understand religion and its role in the modern world."--Robert E. Brown, James Madison University "Invitation to World Religions is a thoroughly enjoyable read, but also deals with how people live their lives according to their faith and religion. That is what is most distinctive and different."--Paul Schneider, University of South Florida "Packaging religions under teachings, lifestyle, and history makes pedagogical sense to me. Other books are not organized as effectively. Invitation to World Religions stimulates critical thought and rational understanding of theological presuppositions and leads students to draw their own conclusions about the material."--Matthew Hallgarth, Tarleton State University "I believe that Invitation to World Religions is superior to competing world religions textbooks on a number of counts. It is well written and the coverage tends to focus on a few items in each section and go into them with some helpful specific details instead of simply speaking in generalizations. It is very important to me that each chapter has the same format. Also, the 'visual guide' sections are wonderful."--John Sanders, Hendrix College "The in-depth coverage of religious traditions, the visual guides and timelines, and the discussion starters, along with the readability of the text, make this a great choice." --Stephanie P. Curran, Hagerstorn Community College, "With an accessible style and a simple and consistent format, Invitation to World Religions, Second Edition, is a clear and concise introduction to world religions.
