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
具體描述
讀後感
内容：★★★★★ 翻译：★★★★☆ 排印：★★★★☆ 装帧：★★★★☆ 对于宗教这样唯心的话题，平时几乎不会和其他人探讨。无论如何开始，最终都会以嘴官司结束——因为每个人的生活体验不同。即使是同一教派的信徒，也经常因不同的宗教体验争得面红耳赤，直至通过符咒诅咒...
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。
評分世界是一座桥，走过去，不要在上面盖房子。——休斯顿·史密斯（著） 隐约记得张爱玲曾说——一个时代需要的是升华而不是浮华（大意）。偶尔想起这句老话时，不免转顾一回我们当下身处的这个时代，竟往往觉得有些悚然，甚或生出些许寒意。 这究竟是怎样的一个时...
評分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，...

religion at its best
评分讀瞭佛教章，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。

评分讀瞭佛教章，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。
评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。
