Problems of suffering in religions of the world de John Bowker
The place for which the main world of religions accord the problem of suffering provides an important key to an understanding of the religions themselves. It highlights their similarities and their differences and it reveals very clearly what their different religions conceive the purpose of human existence to be.
Too much on the Abrahamic religions and not enough on the others. Plus nothing or almost nothing on pagan religions. Also too many pictures instead of real information.
In a book that's more than 300 pages long, only a single page was given to Russian Orthodoxy. Zoroastrianism got a measly 4 pages. The chapters on Christianity and Islam were very disappointing and lacking.
