Title: If it's not REQUIRED do NOT buy it!
Product review: I have never written a bad review...ever, but this book was SOOOO useless. It was a required read for a higher level religion class I was taking and this book almost forced me to change my major (and I'm NOT even a religion major!). The language was COMPLETELY over my head, over the head of the TA, over the head of every person I asked to help me decipher the language. I understand that this doesn't make a "bad book" but it is the perfect example of useless academia; the author wrote this book for the sake of sounding intelligent to his contemporaries. We get it...you're smart and you want to alienate those who aren't as smart as you! Lesson learned. I was almost in tears every time I had to pick it up. I started to develop anxiety as a direct result of HAVING to read this book. If you are still having/ wanting to buy this book, pop on over and buy yourself a dictionary, a thesaurus, and a BIBLE. Trust me-you will need them.
