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.
