Description
Religion is a common element of everyday life. No one escapes its influence, be it direct or indirect. Building on the strong foundations established by the late Willard G. Oxtoby, the third edition of World Religions: Eastern Traditions provides students with an in-depth survey of all the major traditions originating in Asia: Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Confucian, Daoism), and the religions of Japan. Designed for students but equally accessible to general readers, World Religions: Eastern Traditions combines historical perspective with sympathetic insight.
