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

讀後感

評分

使心灵有所皈依,引领孤寂的灵魂获取生命之解脱。虽然每个教派的教义主张略有差异,但宗教的本质没有变。 不止一次地翻阅休斯顿•史密斯的≪人的宗教≫一书。每一次心灵都会被其中的智慧照亮。这是一本难得的好书,甚至我觉得是凡对信仰和精神生活有要求的有知之士必读...

翻译烂到令人难忍,怀孕的人看了心口堵着一口气,宗教被作者一翻译,更没什么好感了 太艰涩难懂了,很多句子理解起来非常拗口,怪我语文水平不好咯?看了这么多书,第一次这么诟病翻译能力 真的看了我很想撕书,前面的序就想撕书了 ,我以为到了正文会好些,再看印度教的时候真...

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

《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...  

評分

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...

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。
