In this elegant and passionate treatise, the dean of world religions defends the essentials of Christianity, the world's largest religion. Bestselling author Huston Smith stakes out a path between culturally rigid, intolerant evangelical and fundamentalist Christianity and nontranscendent, liberal Christianity. He presents a convincing argument for a vital alternative that is a deeper, more authentic faith, a faith that guided the Church for its first thousand years. Huston Smith is internationally known and revered as the premier teacher of world religions and for his bestselling books The World's Religions and Why Religion Matters. He was the focus of a five-part PBS television series with Bill Moyers, and has taught at Washington University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Syracuse University, and the University of California, Berkeley. |
