Religions of India in Practice by Donald S Lopez
Brings together the work of thirty scholars of the religions of India in an anthology designed to reshape the ways in which the religious traditions of India are understood. This book contains translations of forty-five works which highlight types of discourse (especially ritual manuals, folktales, and oral narratives).
"The very nature of this anthology suggests that the contemporary student be taught to learn in the context of uncertain borders, of conflicting and of ambiguous worlds.. The Religions of India in Practice should be in the hands of every teacher-scholar of religions in India and then in the hands of their students."--The Journal of Asian Studies "A volume in the valuable series of Princeton Readings in Religion... [A] most useful set of penetrating studies ... their writers are among the most prominent scholars in the field."--The Journal of Indo-European Studies
Donald S. Lopez, Jr., is Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan.
