The Sacred Quest: An Invitation to the Study of Religion

The Sacred Quest is a great read for people interested in learning about the study of religion, as it explores the meaning of the “sacred” through different mediums, including the nature and definitions of the words “sacred” and “religion,” the appearance and language of the sacred in our daily lives. The authors also explore the many different types of sacred communities and rituals, which gives the reader a “crash course” into many different world religions and cultures. Another interesting aspect which the author delves into are the questions of evil and morality, although I found these two sections to be a little confusing and awkward to understand. Overall, the author does a great job of explaining the terms and ideas presented, and I would recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating subject!
