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
Huston Smith is Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion and Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, Syracuse University. For fifteen years he was Professor of Philosophy at M.I.T. and for a decade before that he taught at Washington University in St. Louis. Most recently he has served as Visiting Professor of Religious Studies, University of California, Berkeley.
Holder of twelve honorary degrees, Smith’s fourteen books include The World’s Religions which has sold over 2 ½ million copies, and Why Religion Matters which won the Wilbur Award for the best book on religion published in 2001. In 1996 Bill Moyers devoted a 5-part PBS Special, The Wisdom of Faith with Huston Smith, to his life and work. His film documentaries on Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, and Sufism have all won International. awards, and The Journal of Ethnomusicology lauded his discovery of Tibetan multiphonic chanting, Music of Tibet, as “an important landmark in the study of music."

評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。
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...
評分读完这本书,想到一个故事,一段往事和一个人。 Part 1.犹太商人的智慧 几年前读到一个关于“三枚戒指”的故事,背景是十字军东征时代的耶路撒冷。Saladin是当时的穆斯林统治者,而Nathan是位犹太富商人和智者。国家因为战争缺少经费,Saladin招Nathan入宫借款。...

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...
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...
