in 2009 I wrote a letter to Huston Smith telling him that in my teens I had taken a course on world religions at Boston University and the professor had used as textbook Smith’s “The Religions of Man†(now titled “The World’s Religionsâ€). I told Smith that I had recently become an adjunct professor of world religions at FSU and that after examining a dozen textbooks I could not find one that came even close to the beauty and understanding Smith conveys in clear and eloquent prose in “The World’s Religions.†Therefore, I chose to use his book as the textbook for all my comparative religion classes. Smith wrote back that my letter had arrived on his 90th birthday and he said, "I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present!â€
Amazon asks: how many stars would you give this book. Answer: all the stars in the universe.Smith allows us to climb inside the heart and then the head and then the whole of each religion. After a few, I thought, where else can the human spirit "go" to reach out in the search for ... the power, the essence. Then he'd take me another way, another place, or, rather, he let the religions take me there. By the time you get to the end, you are all cleaned out, stretched, purified, open, available, informed.Such a nice book, Mr. Smith. thank you.
This is classic book, so my description of content would just be redundant. But, it is important for the reader to have the correct expectation. As the author says in his preface, this book is not a detailed scholarly treatise of each religion. It evolved from a TV program. The book gives an overview of the main points, main history of each religion. Topics move from point to point quickly, like trying to keep a television audience interested, so they won't get bored and change channels. If you want to understand the general idea of each religion, read this book; if you want to become an expert in one, find something else.Having said that, concerning the three religions that I already knew a lot about, this book effectively explained the main beliefs and history of those religions. So, I believe it must have done an equally good job explaining the others. The author was always respectful of each religion; they were all taken seriously. As a result, I could not tell to which religion(s) the author, himself, believed.The book was not evangelical (which it shouldn't be). It didn't change which three religions that speak to me the most. What it did was broaden my definition of religion. By my old definition, some of the religions in this book (notably Confucianism) would have been a philosophy, but not a religion. The authors definition was more broad than mine. The definition went something like this (paraphrasing): a set of beliefs that guide the moral life of a community. By that definition, Confucianism certainly qualifies. By that definition, even an atheist probably has a religion.The only weakness of the book, which I found, was the list of suggested further reading. I looked at a couple of the listed books about a couple different religions, and I was not impressed. But, don't let that stop you from reading this book.
In this book, Huston Smith provides an objective analysis of the world's most influential religions including Hinduism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam, Christianity and some primal religions. He succinctly presents the precepts which constitute the foundation of the religions within the scope of this book. This presentation helps the average readers to understand what are the central elements of a specific religion, the meaning of these elements for the adepts, the subtle relationship of these religions. This book does not compare the religions to identify which one is superior, rather focus on understanding them. The book at times can be difficult to read for an average reader because of the complex structure of long sentences and the theological excerpts. However, the author follows up with clear points to help the readers in understanding.
