Religious Transformations in the Early Modern World : A Brief History with Documents Paperback / softback
by Merry Wiesner-Hanks
Part of the The Bedford Series in History and Culture series
Paperback / softback
Description
The early modern period witnessed sometimes startling, sometimes subtle transformations in the religious and intellectual life of peoples across the globe.
For reasons that varied widely, leaders and thinkers from Mexico to the Ottoman Empire and from China to the Indian subcontinent sought to reform existing religions, develop new spiritual practices, promote innovative texts, and, on occasion, even create new religions.
Presenting documents from different regions and different religious and philosophical traditions, including Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, Christianity, and Confucianism, this volume allows students to explore and analyse these varied transformations.
A general introduction introduces the framework for examining the chapter case studies, while the chapters provide context, a group of primary sources, and a set of questions to consider.
