Astrology and Cosmology in the World’s Religions Paperback – June 11, 2012

I am so glad this book was written. It expertly demonstrates the history of cosmology and astrology in world religions. If anyone tries to use religion to squash your interest in astrology, get this book and perhaps refer them to it too. It is written in a scholarly tone and puts astrology in it's rightful context. The stars have always been revered.My particular interest is Christianity and Campion pointed out many important points about how the religion has always struggled with astrology. Contrary to what some want us to believe, the subject is not clean cut at all.The chapters are overview-ish, so you get some good details, but might want to go deeper on your own. It's a great reference book in that regard....the author provides a ton of citations. It's not entertainment or how-to oriented - you will have a real read with this book, but it's worth it if you are someone who takes astrology seriously and is tired of it being diminished by others.

This book provides a broad overview of how astrology, astronomy, and spirituality cut across many religious and spiritual belief systems in a way that is readable and informative. I highly recommend this as a text book for basic religious courses and for the just curious. It is well written and edited.

Great book about Astrology's role in various religions. Well written and accesible. I couldn't put this one down. If you love Astrology and want to look at it in a broader perspectiv, this book is just the right one.

Very well written and full of information.

interesting

Sent as a gift. Was told it's more like a text book. She said she was expecting quizzes at the end of the chapters.

Good basic info, but that is all.
