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
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...
评分很不错的 关于宗教的入门书籍 特别是对于 从小被唯物主义洗脑的 孩子。仿佛做了白内障手术，从一个新的视角看待宗教，看待世界 好书~！以前很粗鲁的以为 宗教和迷信至少也是约等于 现在看来 是扯。正如序言所说，其实 中国的孩子不重视 人文素养方面的 环境，也没有很多指导推...
评分世界是一座桥，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...
评分使心灵有所皈依，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...
评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。...
用户评价
religion at its best
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
