Descriptive Religion
Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.
This book describes many of the world's religions. As it would be practically impossible to detail all of the thousands of religions, denominations, sects, and cults, it focuses on the major religions, some interesting smaller groups, and some new developments in religious thought.
Prior knowledge of religious theory should not be needed to understand the content of this book.
