Publication Date: 19/02/2015
Edited by world-renowned scholars under the direction of Pulitzer Prize-winner Jack Miles, The Norton Anthology of World Religions provides a flexible library of more than 1,000 primary texts from the world's major religions--Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam--in six portable paperbacks. This anthology unites foundational works--the Bhagavad Gita, the Daode jing, the Bible, the Qur'an--with the writings of scholars, seekers, believers, and skeptics whose voices have kept these religions vital for centuries, allowing instructors to shape a variety of courses. The selections are supported by the meticulously prepared apparatus--introductions, explanatory annotations, bibliographies, maps, and glossaries--for which Norton Anthologies have set the standard for fifty years.
