Reviews for A New Handbook of Living Religions
"It is good to see this classic volume reappear in an updated form. It belongs in the canon of standard works that anyone interested in the study of religion should posses. The updating of the original chapters was desirable and has been accomplished extremely well."Damien Keown, Royal Asiatic Society Journal
