The World's Religions, by Huston Smith, has been a standard introduction to its eponymous subject since its first publication in 1958. Smith writes humbly, forswearing judgment on the validity of world religions. His introduction asks, "How does it all sound from above? Like bedlam, or do the strains blend in strange, ethereal harmony? ... We cannot know. All we can do is try to listen carefully and with full attention to each voice in turn as it addresses the divine. Such listening defines the purpose of this book." His criteria for inclusion and analysis of religions in this book are "relevance to the modern mind" and "universality," and his interest in each religion is more concerned with its principles than its context. Therefore, he avoids cataloging the horrors and crimes of which religions have been accused, and he attempts to show each "at their best." Yet The World's Religions is no pollyannaish romp: "It is about religion alive," Huston writes. "It calls the soul to the highest adventure it can undertake, a proposed journey across the jungles, peaks, and deserts of the human spirit. The call is to confront reality." And by translating the voices of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Confucianism, Christianity, and Judaism, among others, Smith has amplified the divine call for generations of readers. --Michael Joseph Gross

想全面的了解一下宗教的发展史,买了《人的宗教》,看后才发现,这本书的价值远高于我的期望,虽然是分章节对世界各大宗教进行议论,但实际上是观点一致的,即对精神力量的承认和为之努力的赞许,特别是对印度教的概括,彻底改变了我对其的看法,看来在印度,印度教取代佛教,...

《人民的名义》这部电视剧大火之后,我用最快的速度把《人民的名义》这部书看完了,中间夹杂着看过一些电视剧的片段,台词和表演却是如书里面的相似度很高,演员们付出了切实的努力。这一步电视剧的火,很大程度上和全体中国大陆人民的心理诉求产生了极佳的共鸣,每个人都可以...

最近突然想回头读宗教学,而自己又没有时间读大部头。找了一大圈突然发现最适合我的书居然就在我的书柜里面躺着……这已经不是第一次了……究竟应该说是果然多收集一些书比较好,还是应该说收集得太多以至于自己都记不得…… 相比我之前介绍的专业教科书,这本书要容易得多,...

說不上是巨著,但作為入門書或教科書卻十分不錯,本來無打算要讀它,全因教學之故,所謂「陪太子讀書」,只好速速看完它。不喜歡他口水多多,但對故事的編排和重點的鋪陳都是有水準的,而者對各個宗教的重點都掌握得很好,並十分客觀持平
