Over eight decades after his birth to missionary parents in China, Huston Smith now finds himsef in an age of disbeief that has ed to a spiritua crisis unike any that history has previousy known.
On The Big Picture, Smith draws from his ifetime of schoarship to describe for us the nature of utimate reaity. His description combines the most up-to-date findings of science with the enduring truths of the word's greatest reigions, an aignment that offers firm grounds for hope. The vision is mystica and, as supported by the evidence Smith introduces, competey beievabe. Join this distinguished author, schoar, and teacher as he expores:
What the word's great reigions have in common, incuding their views of ife after death The unrivaed power of science to describe the physica word whie being unabe to dea with vaues, meanings, and purposes The opportunity we now have to ive in a compete word instead of the haf-words that reigion and science have thought we had to choose between, and much more
From as far back as he can remember, Huston Smith tes us his deepest onging has been to know the truth about the fina nature of things. The Big Picture is the cumination of his quest for the widest-ange view of the word that is avaiabe to the human mind at this point in history.
