Book Reviews of Doubt: A History: The Great Doubters and Their Legacy of Innovation from Socrates and Jesus to Thomas Jefferson and Emily Dickinson

Book Review: "Doubt"....a remarkably thorough review
Summary: 5 Stars

This completely thorough and in-depth review of religiosity is an essential historical background for anyone interested in the fact that religions have so many different constructions, so many different cultural perspectives. This volume illuminates the enlightenment phases of world religions in a spectacular way. Being thorough, it requires reading intensity, but is worth every minute spent on it; a highly valuable source of knowledge in a subject of significance to all of us.
