THE RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE OF MANKIND 'This compact and thorough volume represents almost all that can be desired by any student wanting to understand the religions of the world. The author is a leading authority on this subject and has the gift of lucid writing and retaining the reader's interest throughout. The result is excellent and the price remarkably low for a book of 735 pages. Indeed it would be hard to find anything better or more comprehen- sive of its kind in this field. At a time when the knowledge of the religions of mankind is more urgent than ever before, if we are to work for peace and to create a just multi-racial society, Professor Smart has provided exactly what is needed the book can be prescribed for Muslims, Sikhs or Hindus as well as for Christians. There is no propaganda for any creed or cause. He writes of world religions in dialogue No short review of such a valuable book can hope to do it justice, nor is it easy to select outstanding passages because it is uniformly helpful. But there are some particularly illuminating pages which contrast Islam, and Judaism, and Islam and Christianity.' 2090002151154 Perpustakaan STTB Bandung Theological Seminary 209 Sma p E96022275 Non Fiction 209 Sma p 41HIaopITeL._SX342_SY445_.jpg 49633 2014-12-11 08:36:43 2024-11-20 17:23:06 machine generated
