The World's Religions
Huston Smith's masterpiece delves into the core beliefs and teachings of the world's major religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Australia's, Africa's, Oceania's, and America's indigenous cultures.
Smith focuses on Zen and Tibetan Buddhism, Sufism, and Jesus' teachings, emphasizing the inner—rather than the institutional—dimension of these religions. He clearly depicts each tradition's distinctive attraction and talents, as well as their hold on the human heart and imagination.
