Introduction to Religion An Introduction to Buddhism, (Hardcover)

from FionaLiddle

An excellent introduction including more than the bare minimum. Harvey pays attention to important linguistic points which other introductions often skip over and explains the history and major philosophical elements of Buddhism well.

from alasdairgf

A thoroughly compentent overview of Buddhist thought from its origins to the present day. Not a light read, but not a light subject... this is no fluffy feel-good text but a serious scholarly introduction. Recommended.

Very good introduction to Buddhism.

from refuge

The more introductory books I read on Buddhism, the more I come to appreciate this one. It is very well written and makes a very complex subject matter easy to understand. If I had to choose just one introduction to Buddhism, this would be it.
