Understanding the World’s Religions
A Study Guide to Huston Smith’s The World’s Religions
This is intended as an adult reading and discussion course centered on Huston Smith’s perennial classic, The World’s Religions (first published under the title The Religions of Man in 1958). In the decades since it first appeared, this book has remained continuously in print, inspiring millions of readers with sympathetic treatments of Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and the primal religions.
Page numbers that are cited refer to the 1991 edition of The World’s Religions, published by Harper-San Francisco. Each participant will need a copy of this book to read the relevant material before each session.
