Engaged Jainism by Christopher Jain Miller
, the groundbreaking volume edited by Christopher S. Queen and Sallie B. King, this volume shows how Jain traditions become engaged in everyday life, puts Jain ideas in dialogue with Western philosophical traditions, and examines the ways in which Jains have maintained Jain identity in their engagement with other religious traditions and cultural influences in the past and present. Across all of these disciplinary approaches, Jainism emerges as a dynamic, protean, and diverse tradition.-

"This excellent book is a milestone in Jain studiesHighlighting an often-neglected aspect of Jainism as a tradition that shows remarkable engagement with contemporary issues, it makes a timely and important contribution to a rapidly expanding field." — Melanie Barbato, Pasifika Communities University, Fiji
"This book offers a sophisticated and multifaceted treatment of what 'engaged Jainism' has been and might mean going forward. For scholars of Jainism (and Asian religions generally), it offers a very helpful reflection upon methodologies and developments in the field. It also fills a huge need—especially enunciated by early undergraduate students—for rigorous instructional materials on how Jains actually apply their traditions and principles in modern society." — Anil Mundra, University of California, Santa Barbara
"A bold and much-needed intervention in the field of Jain Studies." — Dr. Venu Mehta, Bhagwan Chandraprabha Endowed Assistant Professor in Jain Studies and Assistant Professor of Comparative Spiritualities, Claremont School of Theology
