Each chapter is devoted to a different religious tradition: Hinduism, Buddhism, Zen, Taoism, Native American Religion, Traditional African Religion, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Early Christianity, Christian Mysticism, Islam, and Sufism & Sikhism. The chapters each begin with three pages summarizing the origins, teachings, and distinctive features of the faith and a fourth page suggesting how to apply its insights to your daily life.
This collection is set apart from other world religions anthologies by the beauty of its design. The book is printed on glossy, full-color stock. Each monthly chapter has a distinct border design. The only flaw is that the print is rather small and would be difficult for someone with poor eyesight to read. Still, the book would make a handsome gift for anyone interested in world religions.
While the book is beautiful and contains a nice variety of readings, it is not a very useful tool for scholars. Most of the pieces are abridged and occasionally paraphrased from the original, but these adaptations are not specifically noted. Sources are indicated by author and book, but more specific information like chapter and verse are omitted.
However, if inspiration is your goal, A World Religions Bible is a fine collection of inspiring words attractively presented.
