這個,超級通俗!!!推薦
評分重要的不是對某一宗教理解上的客觀與全麵,重要的是作者去觀察的視角,重要的是其反復斟酌終於下筆直至定稿時候嘴角的所有微笑,重要的是那顆想要去理解的心,想要去傾聽的耳朵,最重要的是這一切背後流露齣的愛。而這正正是宗教的本質,這與此書是否通俗是否為入門讀物的爭論毫無關聯。且不說各個宗教的敘述,單單是前言與結尾中便有很多值得抄錄的段落。行文考究,取捨有度,又可作救急的工具書,這樣的書是可以打五星的!另作者采訪剋裏希那穆提的視頻很是有趣,諸君有緣可找來一探究竟。
評分讀瞭佛教章,作者的視角不是曆史的,也不是文獻學的,或者哲學的。難道這就是傳說中的宗教學路數?書中說四聖諦之二是tanha, 似與十二因緣相混淆。又譯大小乘之乘為舟,很奇怪。說大乘的priest可以結婚,不通。所引資料與圖書,除Conze的Buddhist Scriptures較正經,其它都是些未聽說過的英語暢銷書。

評分說不上是巨著,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」,隻好速速看完它。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
Huston Smith is Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion and Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, Syracuse University. For fifteen years he was Professor of Philosophy at M.I.T. and for a decade before that he taught at Washington University in St. Louis. Most recently he has served as Visiting Professor of Religious Studies, University of California, Berkeley.
Holder of twelve honorary degrees, Smith’s fourteen books include The World’s Religions which has sold over 2 ½ million copies, and Why Religion Matters which won the Wilbur Award for the best book on religion published in 2001. In 1996 Bill Moyers devoted a 5-part PBS Special, The Wisdom of Faith with Huston Smith, to his life and work. His film documentaries on Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, and Sufism have all won International. awards, and The Journal of Ethnomusicology lauded his discovery of Tibetan multiphonic chanting, Music of Tibet, as “an important landmark in the study of music."

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
第一是翻译实在太生硬……充满各种倒装和插入语的句式结构。 第二是这书本身就是面向西方人介绍世界宗教,虽然作者非常小心的避免西方中心主义,但由于作者本身的语言环境基于西方视角不可避免。举个栗子——翻译:如果有人说“有人落井了!”我想,利他主义者就会下去救人了。...
評分抛掉那些现实的影响,我们在此聚焦在教义本身。似乎所有的宗教都在以这样或那样的形式谈论着一个更高的真实,它也许总是不可捉摸的,寄托着我们种种渴望。不同的宗教会赋予它一些不同的品质,那么多都谈起爱——这可能是人类灵魂中最深刻的、不安的渴望。我们深觉自己之不完整...
評分翻译很流畅,几大重要宗教都涵盖了,提纲挈领。 另一个视角看宗教,印度教、基督、佛、伊斯兰、儒、道,让人对宗教感知更多些。 作者以睿智,清晰的笔触充分的展现了每一种信仰的精神内涵。其实,宗教在很多时候会给人一种力量,内心真正的强大却需要自己去成长。
評分翻译烂到令人难忍,怀孕的人看了心口堵着一口气,宗教被作者一翻译,更没什么好感了 太艰涩难懂了,很多句子理解起来非常拗口,怪我语文水平不好咯?看了这么多书,第一次这么诟病翻译能力 真的看了我很想撕书,前面的序就想撕书了 ,我以为到了正文会好些,再看印度教的时候真...
評分读完这本书,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。...
