World Religions and Beliefs series.
In this uneven series, Islam and Christianity provide fairly useful overviews in terms of religion and history; Faith is a little shakier, occasionally making questionable assertions (e.g., including Krishna, one of the incarnations of Vishnu, as the "founder" of Hinduism). Maps (some with tiny type), photographs, and artwork reproductions illustrate the well-documented volumes. Timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these World Religions and Beliefs titles: The Birth of Christianity, The Birth of Islam, and Founders of Faith.
