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
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，...
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...
評分很不错的 关于宗教的入门书籍 特别是对于 从小被唯物主义洗脑的 孩子。仿佛做了白内障手术，从一个新的视角看待宗教，看待世界 好书~！以前很粗鲁的以为 宗教和迷信至少也是约等于 现在看来 是扯。正如序言所说，其实 中国的孩子不重视 人文素养方面的 环境，也没有很多指导推...
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...
用戶評價
這個，超級通俗！！！推薦
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。
评分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
