Now available in paperback, the Routledge Handbook of Religions in
Asia provides a contemporary and comprehensive overview of religion
in contemporary Asia. Compiled and introduced by Bryan S. Turner
and Oscar Salemink, the Handbook contains specially written
chapters by experts in their respective fields. The wide-ranging
introduction discusses issues surrounding Orientalism and the
historical development of the discipline of Religious Studies. It
conveys how there have been many centuries of interaction between
different religious traditions in Asia and discusses the problem of
world religions and the range of concepts, such as high and low
traditions, folk and formal religions, popular and orthodox
developments. Individual chapters are presented in the following
five sections: Asian origins: religious formations; Missions,
states and religious competition; Reform movements and modernity;
Popular religions; Religion and globalization: social dimensions.
Striking a balance between offering basic information about
religious cultures in Asia and addressing the complexity of
employing a Western terminology in societies with radically
different traditions, this advanced- level reference work will be
essential reading for students, researchers and scholars of Asian
Religions, Sociology, Anthropology, Asian Studies and Religious
Studies.
