Abortion and the Death Penalty

[Carl Remick]

"The World's Religions," by Huston Smith (1991 revised edition
[paperback], HarperSanFrancisco, pub.; originally published in 1958 as
"The Religions of Man") comes highly recommended as an overview of
religion in general.  Have just started reading it myself so I can't say
for sure how good it is -- but Smith certainly does have a limpid
writing style.
