Using a historical, textual and ethnographic approach, this is the
most comprehensive presentation of Daoism to date. In addition to
revealing the historical contours and primary concerns of Chinese
Daoists and Daoist communities, "The Daoist Tradition" provides an
account of key themes and defining characteristics of Daoist
religiosity, revealing Daoism to be a living and lived religion.
Exploring Daoism from a comparative religious studies perspective,
this book gives the reader a deeper understanding of religious
traditions more broadly. Beginning with an overview of Daoist
history, "The Daoist Tradition" then covers key elements of Daoist
worldviews and major Daoist practices. This is followed by a
discussion of the importance of place and sacred sites as well as
representative examples of material culture in Daoism. The work
concludes with an overview of Daoism in the modern world. The book
includes a historical timeline, a map of China, 25 images, a
glossary, text boxes, suggested reading and chapter overviews. A
companion website provides both student and lecturer resources:
