Reprint originallhy published 1958 I found this book - published in the 1950s - on a shelf at the back of the school library. That version of the book is no longer in print; there's an updated version under the title "The World Religions." Why is this book so wonderful? Author Huston Smith discusses each religion not by breaking down its practices and specifics. Instead, he gets at the soul of the religion. It's much about philosophy, spiritual and non-spiritual, than the cut-and-dry religion any standard book would provide. I haven't actually finished this book yet, but I've been fascinated by the chapters I've read so far. no reviews | add a review
