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."
religion at its best
評分讀瞭佛教章,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。

評分說不上是巨著,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
《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...
