The World's Religions

Our Great Wisdom Traditions

BY HUSTON SMITH

Brief Description:
In this compendium Huston Smith explores 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 emphasizes the inner, rather than institutional, dimensions of these religions and gives special attention to Zen, Tibetan Buddhism, Sufism, and Jesus' teachings. He convincingly conveys the unique appeal and gifts of these traditions and reveals their hold on the human heart and imagination. "This is one book on world religions I can't do without. I return to it often--and always with reward." - Bill Moyers
