Retaining all the beloved qualities of Huston Smith's classic The Religions
of Man and the current fully revised and updated The World's Religions, this
stunning pictorial presentation refines the text to its wonderful essentials. In
detailed, absorbing, richly illustrated, and highly readable chapters on
Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity and
primal religions, we find refreshing and fascinating presentations of both the
differences and the similarities among the worldwide religious traditions. The

eloquence and erudition that millions of readers love about the earlier
editions, while being edited and designed for a contemporary general readership.

to life the scope and vision of Huston Smith's expertise and insight. The Illustrated World's Religions: A Guide to Our Wisdom Traditions
