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

读后感
读之我幸，不读我命。不读的话，我会继续在这里徘徊，徘徊。就像他们她们它们一样。 这是一本很好的宗教比较学著作，原来世界的宗教都殊途同归——你以为一神论和泛神论的宗教、一元论和非一元论的宇宙观怎么可能殊途同归？其实只需读到第二章《印度教》就可以知道答案。认识到...
评分翻译很流畅，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。
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...
评分這個書很厚，讀起來不輕鬆，俺花了兩個禮拜俺才念完一遍。 隨手翻開，四處可見用鉛筆劃得密密麻麻的橫線，貌似是認真讀了，但是想全部融會貫通還差得遠。 而且頗棘手，我非常想給大家推薦這個書，卻不知該從哪個點切進去講，只好從周邊花絮開始…… 前一陣昆明砍殺事件時，好...
用户评价
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。

评分这个，超级通俗！！！推荐
评分重要的不是对某一宗教理解上的客观与全面，重要的是作者去观察的视角，重要的是其反复斟酌终于下笔直至定稿时候嘴角的所有微笑，重要的是那颗想要去理解的心，想要去倾听的耳朵，最重要的是这一切背后流露出的爱。而这正正是宗教的本质，这与此书是否通俗是否为入门读物的争论毫无关联。且不说各个宗教的叙述，单单是前言与结尾中便有很多值得抄录的段落。行文考究，取舍有度，又可作救急的工具书，这样的书是可以打五星的！另作者采访克里希那穆提的视频很是有趣，诸君有缘可找来一探究竟。
