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
第一次读这本书是2002年，很感动。不只是感动于休斯顿·史密斯那种平静而睿智的讲述，就是编者那份前言，也让我欷歔了半天。 每次看到报上报道有多少大学生找不到工作，或有某某大学生泼硫酸、跳楼，我就不禁想：我们教育怎么了？我们的学生怎么了？除了呆板的应试，除了机械的...
評分翻译烂到令人难忍，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...
評分第一是翻译实在太生硬……充满各种倒装和插入语的句式结构。 第二是这书本身就是面向西方人介绍世界宗教，虽然作者非常小心的避免西方中心主义，但由于作者本身的语言环境基于西方视角不可避免。举个栗子——翻译：如果有人说“有人落井了！”我想，利他主义者就会下去救人了。...
評分世界是一座桥，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...
評分内容：★★★★★ 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...
用戶評價
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」，隻好速速看完它。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
评分這個，超級通俗！！！推薦

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。
