NEW YORK (AP) - At age 86, Huston Smith is returning home again — to Christianity.
Smith is the dean of American scholars on world religions and his best-selling textbook about them is known to legions of college students. Personally, he's explored many faiths — though he's also a minister in the United Methodist Church, the denomination in which he was raised in China as the son of missionaries.
Now, in the new "The Soul of Christianity: Restoring the Great Tradition" (HarperSanFrancisco), Smith ruminates about the beliefs, contributions and prospects of the world's largest faith.
