Fully revised and updated, this successful anthology, first published in 1975, introduces the unique claims, hopes, and wisdom of all the major religious traditions world-wide, allowing each to be heard in its own voice through substantial excerpts from its scriptures, prophets, and distinguished authors. More than two-thirds of the 66 reading selections are new, including several important recent translations, autobiographical materials by believers, and essays focusing on recent issues. The wealth of contributors range from the Confucianist Tu Wei-ming, to Zen Buddhist D.T. Suzuki, to the Muslim Fazlur Rahman. The Dalai Lama writes about Buddhism, while Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan introduces Hinduism. This edition also includes a new chapter on Shinto and a new final chapter entitled "Religion in America: A Sampler."
