From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. The large-format paperbacks in the World Faiths series repackage the attractive, informative pages from sections of
The Kingfisher Book of Religions: Festivals, Ceremonies, and Beliefs from around the World (1999) into a series of individual titles. With several new double-page spreads and an expanded glossary,
Islam goes beyond the basic introduction to include information on Islamic beliefs, art, and customs, as well as discussions of the political aspects of Islam and cultural differences among Muslims around the world. Well illustrated with color photos, this paperback offers a succinct survey of the religion. The series includes three other books: Christianity, Judaism, and Hinduism and Other Eastern Religions.

Product Review
VOYA Here is a colorful, non-intimidating series that manages to pluck out some of the more interesting aspects of four of the world's great religions. These inexpensive paperback books have the lavish pictorial interest of coffee-table books. This series is particularly well suited for middle school collections where there is a call for comparing religious traditions, but it could be used in high school and public libraries as well.
KLIATT Briefly, and with gorgeously produced full-color illustrations, these books summarize the essential facts about the world's major religionsIn our multicultural society, these essential guides to the major faiths will be most helpful. Even high school students will find them useful introductions.
