Description - The Norton Anthology of World Religions by James Robson
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.
Unprecedented in scope and approach, The Norton Anthology of World Religions: Daoism brings together over 150 texts from Daoism's origins in the Zhou Dynasty (1046–256 B.C.E.) to its vital, international present. The volume features Jack Miles' illuminating General Introduction-"Art, Play, and the Comparative Study of Religion"-as well as James Robson's "Daoism Lost and Found," a lively primer on the history and guiding values and practices of Daoism.
