Huston Smith's masterpiece explores the essential elements and teachings of the world's predominant faith, including, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and the native traditions of Australia, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas

Emphasizing the inner - rather than institutional - dimensions of these religions, Smith devotes special attention to Zen and Tibetan Buddhism, Sufism, and the teaching of Jesus. Smith convincingly conveys the unique appeal and gifts of each of the traditions and reveals their hold on the human heart and imagination.
