I want to get into comparative religion but don't know where to start and don't feel like diving directly into sacred texts without some background knowledge. In particular I want to know more about the great schism of Christianity.

Truth isn't found in books, you have to look inside yourself to find your connection to the spirit realm.

This level of enlightenment and introspection is difficult for most people, so they fool themselves into thinking there's some book out there that will transform their whole way of thinking.
