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
内容：★★★★★ 翻译：★★★★☆ 排印：★★★★☆ 装帧：★★★★☆ 对于宗教这样唯心的话题，平时几乎不会和其他人探讨。无论如何开始，最终都会以嘴官司结束——因为每个人的生活体验不同。即使是同一教派的信徒，也经常因不同的宗教体验争得面红耳赤，直至通过符咒诅咒...
評分《人民的名义》这部电视剧大火之后，我用最快的速度把《人民的名义》这部书看完了，中间夹杂着看过一些电视剧的片段，台词和表演却是如书里面的相似度很高，演员们付出了切实的努力。这一步电视剧的火，很大程度上和全体中国大陆人民的心理诉求产生了极佳的共鸣，每个人都可以...
評分读之我幸，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...
評分中国当代哲学大师冯友兰认为，哲学是对人生系统的反思。而宗教的核心必然是哲学，所以他认为宗教就是哲学加上一定的上层建筑，包括教义、礼仪和体制。 根据冯友兰的定义，中国的儒家、道家（不是道教）都不能称之为宗教。 而《人的宗教》的作者休斯顿•史密斯却...
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...

religion at its best
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。
