Description:

Originally titled The Religions of Man, this 50th Anniversary edition of Huston Smith's masterpiece explores the essential elements and teaching of the world's major faiths, including: Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and the native traditions of Australia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas. Emphasizing the inner rather than institutional dimensions 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. Paperback, 431 pp, 2009
