Understanding World Religions and Beliefs

"The content is easily digestible yet in-depth enough to be both interesting and informative. Teachers can utilize the series to help students understand the religious motivations of characters in assigned fiction readings or important figures from history. Since explication on the topic of religion can be heavily biased, a high-quality series such as this is a welcome addition to any school collection. Highly Recommended."
--School Library Connection, March 2019

"This comprehensive volume in the Understanding World Religions and Beliefs series sets the record straight about the fastest growing religion around the globe. It gives a solid background on the prophet Muhammad, his teachings through the Koran, and the spread of Islam. The biggest takeaway, however, is an emphasis on tolerance."
-Booklist, November 1, 2018 (Understanding Islam)
