A unique historical analysis of the concept of 'belief' from a renowned author

Wilfred Cantwell Smith investigates and contemplates religious experience in a variety of different traditions. This book is for those who seek understanding and tolerance of others and serves to reaffirm one's own faith, or illuminate one's lack of it, by revealing how others find paths to God.

Is what, or whether one believes the significant religious question; and although the religious communities of the world differ in belief, how much do they really differ in faith?

Wilfred Cantwell Smith, maintained in this vastly important work that Westerners have misperceived religious life by making "religion" into one thing. He shows the inadequacy of "religion" to capture the living, endlessly variable ways and traditions in which religious faith presents itself in the world.
