The World's Religions, by beloved author and pioneering professor Huston Smith (Tales of Wonder), is the definitive classic for introducing the essential elements and teachings of the world's predominant faiths. This essential guide to comparative religion covers Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, as well as regional native traditions.
This revised and updated edition provides sympathetic descriptions of the various traditions, explaining how they work "from the inside," which is a big reason why this cherished classic of religious studies has sold more than two million copies since it first appeared in 1958.
For decades, students and seekers have turned to this landmark text for its clear, objective, and engaging exploration of humanity's most enduring spiritual traditions.
