Originally published in 1916, this book presents a selection from
the Jatakas translated into English. The selection was made 'with
the purpose of bringing together the Jataka stories of most
interest, both intrinsically, and also from the point of view of
the folklorist.' Notes and illustrative figures are also included.
This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the Jataka
tales and Indian literature.
Religion is usually thought of as inconsequential to contemporary
Canadian politics. This book takes a hard look at just how much
influence faith continues to have in federal, provincial, and
territorial arenas. Drawing on case studies from across the
country, it explores three important axes of religiously based
contention - Protestant vs. Catholic, conservative vs. reformer,
and, more recently, opponents vs. defenders of accommodating
minority religious practices. Although the extent of partisan
engagement with each of these sources of conflict has varied across
time and region, the authors show that religion still matters in
shaping political oppositions. These themes are illuminated by
comparisons to the role faith plays in the politics of other
Western industrialized societies.
