This book is fantastic and I would readily recommend it to anyone with even the slightest interest in religion, be it as an object of study or as some personal guidance. Smith writes enthusiastically about all of the religions he discusses here, which instantly gives the reader a sense of what's so great about being a Taoist, Buddhist, Jew, etc.. Personally, the chapters on Asian rEligion appealed most to me. This book has got me interested in Buddhism, and I am certainly going to study this religion more. I am very grateful for this introduction into the world religions. It is written in a manner that is both informal and objective. because of this it deserves to be known as one of the best introductions to world religion. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Listes notables
Huston Smith's masterpiece explores the essential elements and teachings of the world's predominant faiths, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and the native traditions of Australia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Emphasizing the inner--rather than the institutional--dimension of these religions, Smith devotes special attention to Zen and Tibetan Buddhism, Sufism, and the teachings of Jesus. He convincingly conveys the unique appeal and gifts of each of the traditions and reveals their hold on the human heart and imagination. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Smith's treatment of indigenous, animistic, pagan, and traditional practices were less complete than I had hoped to find. ( )
