Average Rating:
 Rating: - Religions of AsiaThis is a textbook-type of book in the good sense of the term: it is well-written, information-packed, but yet relatively simply portrayed. A good introduction to the major religions of Asia. The focus is on the texts of each religion. What is missing is more discussion on how various elements of the population (underclass, women, etc.) incorporate the textual-based religous practices described in the text. Would have to look elsewhere for such a discussion.
