Understanding. Stephen Prothero’s new book, God Is Not One, is a finely written primer on the fundamental tenets and practices of eight major world religions. Prothero attacks those who gloss over the differences among religions as insignificant because they represent different paths to the same God. Prothero highlights the differences, explains them, and focuses our attention on why the differences are important in gaining understanding and insight. Any reader with limited knowledge about different religions will find this book fascinating. Those readers who already understand much about different religions may find this book inadequate and far too basic. I found that I learned more about the Yoruba and Confucianism from this book than I had gleaned from others. Rating: Three-star (Recommended)
