It was a watershed event in the history of religions; religious teachers from around the world assembled there, and meditation, yoga, Zen, and other Eastern teachings and practices were introduced to the West. Now the perspectives and techniques of religious traditions from around the world~ from Hasidic stories to Zen koans, yoga positions to Tibetan chants, Taoist classics to The Art of War in Wall Street briefcases~have become an increasingly significant part of American life. Since 1893 we have also become aware not only of the rich variety of humankind's great religious traditions, but also of the frightening capacity for narrow religious convictions to breed enmity, division, and horrific violence. So today more than ever, there is a chronic need for the adherents of the various religious traditions to understand and respect one another's faiths. Remarkably, this is the first introduction to world religions for general readers in which leading scholars each present their own traditions. And many of the authors ~such as Masao Abe on Buddhism, Tu Wei~ming on Confucianism, and Liu Xiaogan on Taoism~are regarded as the preeminent scholars in the world of their own traditions. Each chapter presents the religion as a living contemporary worldview and way of life. Even seemingly remote elements of~a tradition are shown to be more a part of our life than we may realize: Taoist books appear on bestseller lists, the word Zen has become part of everyday speech, and there is growing awareness that Confucian principles underlie the success of East Asian business. Each author communicates the religion's essential nature, its history, and its key teachings and practices. The delightful chapter on Christianity by renowned Harvard professor Harvey Cox, the authoritative presentation of Judaism by the dean of modern Jewish studies, Jacob Neusner, the comprehensive account of Islam by the great savant Seyyed Hossein Nasr, the fascinating portrayal of Hinduism by its leading modern representative, Arvind Sharma~they each virtually constitute small books providing concise, readable, expert, fully up~to~date introductions to the faiths their authors live and teach today. This book is being published on the 100th anniversary of the 1893 Parliament and coincides with the 1993 World Parliament of Religions, with its focus on promoting cooperation and understanding among religious traditions and countering religious nationalism and antagonism. Most of the book's contributors participated prominently in the Parliament and they should also play an important role in implementing and extending its vital message. …
