Introduction to Asian Religions

Exploring the major religions of South and Southeast Asia, China, and Northeast Asia, Introduction to Asian Religions surveys Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Confucianism, Daoism, Shinto, Islam, and the newer religious movements to bring the religious traditions of Asia to life. Introduction to Asian Religions encourages readers to develop their own interpretation of each tradition. Its geographical organization helps students learn how the traditions interrelate and its historical approach helps them understand how each tradition has developed and changed over time. This text places traditions within a wider global context and examines modern expressions of each tradition.Hawkins, Bradley K. is the author of 'Introduction to Asian Religions', published 2003 under ISBN 9780321172891 and ISBN 0321172892.
