"The collected wisdom of the world:
Intelligent, clearly written...
reveals the spirit of each faith."
- The New York Times
This is a completely revised and updated edition of the all-time classic bestseller with over two million copies sold.
From the internationally celebrated authority on religion, Huston Smith. With a new preface and fresh package, this 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 tradition and reveals their hold on the human heart and imagination.
