The World's Religions

This updated and revised classic introduces the basic teachings and essential elements of the world's predominant religions, including Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, and more. Internationally known professor Huston Smith was renowned for his emphasis on the inner dimensions of each religion and for discussing their appeal and hold on the human heart and imagination. Rather than presenting lists of information, Smith focuses on the meaning of each religion, making The World's Religions a helpful tool for understanding different cultures and views.
