Description

This essential student textbook consists of seventeen sections, all written by leading scholars in their different fields.

They cover all the religious traditions of Southwest Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Tibet, and East Asia.

The major traditions that are described and discussed are (from the Southwest) Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Islam, and (from the East) Taoism, Confucianism and Shinto.

In addition, the tradition of Bon in Tibet, the shamanistic religions of Inner Asia, and general Chinese, Korean and Japanese religion are also given full coverage.

The emphasis throughout is on clear description and analysis, rather than evaluation.

Ten maps are provided to add to the usefulness of this book, which has its origin in the acclaimed Encyclopedia of Religion, edited by Mircea Eliade of the University of Chicago.
