I refer to this book almost as much as I do
to my dictionary while I am reading. No doubt this is because much of what I
read has a philosophical and/or religious bent. In fact, no one recommended
this book, nor did I find some reference to it somewhere. Instead I just
reasoned, there must be some kind of dictionary of philosophy and religion out
there for someone like me who casually reads so much of it. And I asked a
friend to search Amazon for any and this was the only such book she found.
I didn’t like not having several to choose
from, but upon receiving, and consequently using this book it has well earned
my respect and appreciation. My education in philosophy and religion, while
more extensive than most, is informal and hence full of holes. This book helps
tremendously to fill in those gaps.
