The anthology brings together foundational works--the Bhagavad Gita, the Daodejing, the Bible, the Qur'an--with the writings of scholars, seekers, believers, and skeptics whose voices over centuries have kept these religions vital. To help readers encounter strikingly unfamiliar texts with pleasure, this Norton Anthology provides accessible introductions, headnotes, annotations, pronouncing glossaries, maps, illustrations, and chronologies. It also includes a dazzling general introduction by Jack Miles that questions whether religion can be defined and illuminates how world religions came to be acknowledged and studied, absorbed and altered, understood and misunderstood.</p><p>For readers of any religion or none, <em>The Norton Anthology of World Religions</em> opens new worlds that, as Miles writes, invite us all to see others with a measure of openness, empathy, and good will...In that capacity lies the foundation of human sympathy and cultural wisdom.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A] landmark documentary history.--William Dalrymple "New York Times Book Review"<br><br>Jack Miles is the religious writer of our time...
