This book will do very little, if anything to improve your religious literacy. It may, however, inspire you to pray for a quick end to the book.

As was the case with the previous reviewer, I saw the author on 'The Daily Show' and I was anxious to get the book to help improve my religous knowledge. I was somewhat surprised to learn from the show that American ambassadors are not required to have any training on the major religions of countries with which they interface. The author made a great argument for improving religous literacy on a broad scale.

Unfortunately, the book is not focused on enlightening readers about world religions, but is instead devoted primarily to proving how little Americans know about them. I don't think that there are many who would disagree with him on that point. The subject certainly could have been adressed as effectively in a pamphlet as in a book.

Mabye he'll next write a book on urban traffic congestion that spends the first two-thirds of the book explaining how there are too many cars and too few roads.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
