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
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...
评分 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《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...

这个，超级通俗！！！推荐
评分这个，超级通俗！！！推荐
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religion at its best
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
