This collection of essays analyzes a >traditiona (TM) as a
category in the historical and comparative study of religion. The
book questions the common assumption that tradition is simply the a
oepassing downa or imitation of prior practices and discourses. It
begins from the premise that many traditions are, at least in part,
social fabrications, often deliberately serving particular
ideological ends. Individual chapters examine a wide variety of
historical periods and religions (Congolese, Buddhist, Christian,
Confucian, Cree, Esoteric, Hawaiian, Hindu, Islamic, Jewish, New
Religious Movement, and Shinto). Different sections of the book
consider tradition's relation to three sets of issues: legitimation
and authority; agency and identity; modernity and the West.
