Princeton Readings in Religions is a new series of anthologies
on the religions of the world, representing the significant
advances that have been made in the study of religions in the last
thirty years. This volume brings together the introductions to the
first five volumes of this acclaimed series: "Religions of India in
Practice" (1995), "Buddhism in Practice" (1995), "Religions of
China in Practice" (1996), "Religions of Tibet in Practice" (1997),
and "Religions of Japan in Practice" (1999). The introductions to
these volumes have been widely praised for their accessible, clear
and concise overviews of the religions of Asia, providing both
historical context and insightful analysis of Hinduism, Jainism,
Sikhism, Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shinto, and Bon, as
well as many local traditions. The authors of the chapters are
leading scholars of Asian religions: Richard Davis (India), Stephen
Teiser (China), George Tanabe (Japan), and Donald Lopez (Buddhism
and Tibet). They bring together the best and most current research
on their topics, while series editor Donald Lopez provides an
introduction to the volume as a whole. In addition to providing a
wealth of detail on the history, doctrine, and practice of the
religions of Asia, the five chapters offer an opportunity for
sustained discussions of the category of "religion."
