Summary "The Book of Religions" by John Hayward is a comprehensive religious reference work written in the mid-19th century. This book explores the diverse views, creeds, and sentiments of various religious denominations across the globe, with particular emphasis on Christian sects in Europe and America.

At the start of the book, the author lays out the purpose of the text, which is to present an impartial and concise overview of the major religious sects and their beliefs, facilitating a comparison among them and with the scriptures. The opening includes acknowledgments of contributions from various religious leaders and outlines the structure of the content to follow.
