Summary

Who are we?  Why are we here?  How should we spend our few precious years on Earth?  Throughout history, we've looked to religion for answers to our deepest, abiding questions.  One of the foremost scholars of religion in the world, Huston Smith, discusses the contemporary role of religion, the value religion continues to provide for those who choose to listen, the difference between religion and spirituality, and the commonalities of various religions.
