You should have an interest in religions beyond your own denomination, if any, or in understanding how thinkers of the past used to see the world.You will be hard pressed to find a clearer and more readable explanation of the common framework for the great religions of the world. Other traditionalists tend to write a dense prose, expecting the student to be desperate to learn the Truth and well versed in mystical theory and practice. Huston Smith draws on his...
Buku klasik ini bisa dibilang sebagai bahan perbandingan dari modernitas yang sangat menagung-agungkan kemajuan sains modern, pada dasarnya sang penulis dalam buku ini berusaha menyampaikan cara pandang mengenai alam semesta yang perlu dilihat berdasarkan banyak sudut pandang. Tidak terpaku pada angka, dalam beberapa hal dunia tidak bisa dijelaskan secara kuantitatif.Pada dasarnya, buku ini sangat teologis dan psikologis sekali berdasarkan semua bahasan yang disajikan oleh penulis. Secara garis
Second fav book by him that shows we're all connected! Beautiful! Look at similarities not differences
I don't think I understood everything in this book. I wish that I had.
