For more than sixty years, Huston Smith has not only written and taught about the
world's religions, he has lived them. This "Reader" presents a rich selection of Smith's
writings, covering six decades of inquiry and exploration, and ranging from scholarship
to memoir. Over his long academic career, Smith's tireless enthusiasm for religious
ideas has offered readers both in and outside the academy a fresh understanding of
what religion is and what makes it meaningful. "The Huston Smith Reader" offers a
comprehensive guide to understanding religion and spirituality as well as a memorable
record of Huston Smith's lifelong endeavor to enrich the inner lives of his fellow
humans
