註釋

"Religion and the Human Image traces major religious philosophies to show how each is a "mirror of man." It explores religion as a set of symbols of images which reveal various aspects of human life throughout history. It shows how to interpret the clues that give significance to the human situation. The book discusses how the human image is depicted in the religion of ancient Israel, in early Christianity, in classical Hinduism and Buddhism, and in the traditional religious cultures of China and Japan. It concludes with two strong chapters that deal with the disintegration of traditional religious images under the impact of rapid social change and secularization during the past one hundred and fifty years. the text concludes with an examination of recent trends in religion which seem to point toward the recovery of a new understanding of the human condition. The material presents key traditions rather than covering everything about all religions, although the introductory chapter summarizes and critically analyzes the various theories of religion in general. It integrates the historical approach to religion with sociology, psychology, philosophy, and theology."-Publisher.
