Features: This book introduces the world's seven major religious traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and various primal religions. Through personal observations, the author conveys wisdom that blends rationality and emotion, tradition and modernity to the public. This translation is based on the author's revised edition of 1991. This new version incorporates the author's new findings from nearly three decades of teaching and research, while adding new perspectives such as gender perspectives and language use, as well as enhanced analysis of the intrinsic aspects of each religion. It also provides detailed supplements on Tibetan Buddhism, Sufism, and the historical Jesus, along with a new chapter discussing primal religions—the religious traditions of indigenous peoples in the Americas, Australia, and Africa.
