摘要:I am delighted to review this impressive and
wide-ranging book. Clearly it is the product of
many years’ work, of encyclopaedic reading
and much reflection. The Author teaches in the
Department of Behavioural Sciences in Ben-
Gurion University of the Negev. He tells us that
many of the ideas within this book were
initially worked through with different classes
of his undoubtedly fortunate students (the size
of S.S.’s classes grew as the focus on a comparison
of the world’s religions developed) ;
happily a much wider range of students and
scholars are now able to access this important
body of material.
