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

评分读完这本书，想到一个故事，一段往事和一个人。 Part 1.犹太商人的智慧 几年前读到一个关于“三枚戒指”的故事，背景是十字军东征时代的耶路撒冷。Saladin是当时的穆斯林统治者，而Nathan是位犹太富商人和智者。国家因为战争缺少经费，Saladin招Nathan入宫借款。...
评分关于书本身，大家已经写了很多，就不再写了，实际上，只要是认真读的读者，肯定有自己的收获。下面结合以前的思考，写一些不一定成熟的感想。 宗教在人类文明中占据着一个非常重要的位置。宗教初创时，从显性力量的角度考察，往往只有区区数个信徒，它是弱小的；从智慧的角度...
评分第一次读这本书是2002年，很感动。不只是感动于休斯顿·史密斯那种平静而睿智的讲述，就是编者那份前言，也让我欷歔了半天。 每次看到报上报道有多少大学生找不到工作，或有某某大学生泼硫酸、跳楼，我就不禁想：我们教育怎么了？我们的学生怎么了？除了呆板的应试，除了机械的...

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

评分读了佛教章，作者的视角不是历史的，也不是文献学的，或者哲学的。难道这就是传说中的宗教学路数？书中说四圣谛之二是tanha, 似与十二因缘相混淆。又译大小乘之乘为舟，很奇怪。说大乘的priest可以结婚，不通。所引资料与图书，除Conze的Buddhist Scriptures较正经，其它都是些未听说过的英语畅销书。
