What is the main conflict in The World's Wisdom: Sacred Texts of the World's Religions by Philip Novak?

There is not one main conflict. "The World's Wisdom - Sacred Texts of the World's Religions," by Philip Novak, is a historical account of the seven great religions of the world and a summary of primal religions that preceded them and no longer exist. The author describes the most revered and sacred writings and tomes for each of the religions. The author points out that of the estimated 100,000 religions that man created, most have faded and been overtaken by the larger religions that are showcased in the book.
