The Worlds Religions – Our Great Wisdom Traditions

The Worlds Religions Our Great Wisdom Traditions

With a new preface and fresh package, this completely revised and updated version of The Religions of Man explores the essential elements and teachings of the world's predominant faiths, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and the native traditions of the Americas, Australia, Africa, and Oceania. Smith emphasises the inner — rather than institutional — dimensions of these religions and gives special attention to Zen, 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.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars GET A DICTIONARY!
SMITH IS OFF THE CHAIN WITH HIS VOCABULARY.

KEEP A DICTIONARY AND THESAURUS NEAR LOL.

5 Stars Good quality.
The book was exactly the same as the books in stores. Only a $5.00 dollar price difference for the dicounted prices online, but is still good for a $19.00 dollar book.

4 Stars pretty good
this was a used product, but it was in extremely good condition. there were some markings in the book, but other than that it was in top shape.

5 Stars What a tool!
This review is for both The World's Religions and Illustrated World Religions. I will do as Lao Tzu and make this short and to the point. I have used this book in Sunday school, for the world history classes I teach, as reference to a book I am writing, and for general interest(s). I have recommended it to everyone who asks me questions about religion. One reason they ask me is because I have read this book. Be 4warned, this is a gateway book; it may cause you to look into your own beliefs and/or read religious text of faiths other than your own.

5 Stars Good Read
The World's Religions, by Huston Smith, is a great book that includes all the world's religions and deals with each one with respect and dignity. Huston shows the best of each religion. In this one book you can learn the wisdom of each of the seven world's religions. This book will leave you with a broader sense of religion that you might not have given a second thought to.

I see from reading the reviews on this site some people have recommend my book, "The Enlightenment, What God Told Me After One Million Prayers: A Message for Everyone," and again I just want them to know how much I appreciate their recommendation, especially at such a excellent site. I wrote this book out of love and for the glory of God and Jesus, not for my own fame or fortune. I welcome people to read my book, I'm sure you'll find this non-fiction account of a loving God just as positive and inspiring
