Book Reviews of The Sacred and The Profane: The Nature of Religion
Book Review: A classic book for the library.
Summary: 4 Stars
Wonderful academic study that left me thirsting for a fundamental revelation. Well written but without the emotive force of "The Autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth and the Missing Years" by Richard G. Patton. Patton delivers the same basic information in a more attractive and digestible form. This book is great for winning academic debate, but left me feeling hungry for the main course.
