Religion and Man: Indian and Far Eastern Religious Traditions

The present volume provides an introduction to the scholarly study of some of the religious traditions involved in human history. The authors have sought to provide accurate descriptions of the rituals, myths, symbolic devices, belief systems, and social organizations of the world's religions. They have also provided sensitive interpretations of the ethos and the spiritual directions to which these various symbolic forms have pointed. In doing so, the authors show how a religious tradition can be studied in such a way that both data and interpretation, fact and meaning, detail and the patterns unifying the detail into a dynamic whole can be recognized and appreciated.Baird, Robert D. is the author of 'Religion and Man: Indian and Far Eastern Religious Traditions' with ISBN 9780060404482 and ISBN 0060404485.
