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
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，...
评分《人的宗教》这本书从买来到今天（8月30日）读完已经过去一年多了。一方面因为同时有很多书在读，手提包里，办公室里；家里就更多了：沙发上、床头柜、吧台、摇椅到处都有没读完或者翻完的夹着书签的书；另一个方面，《人的宗教》这本介绍世界七大宗教及其传统的书的确...
评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，...
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...

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。
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
评分这个，超级通俗！！！推荐
