Produktbeschreibung

"Shinto: A Short History" provides a running history of Shinto as a religious system from prehistory to the present day. The introduction explains the concept of a religious system, followed by four chapters that treat different periods in Shinto history. The book has been written with both the scholar of Japanese studies and the non-specialist in mind, thereby offering an excellent introduction to the subject.

Rezensionen

'Shinto: A Short History is a benchmark publication in Shinto studies.' - Monumenta Nipponica

'This book should have wide appeal to teachers of East Asian relgions as a detailed textbook for upper-level undergraduates and taught postgraduates, as well as being a useful resource for scholars. The use of the concept of 'religious tradition' as an analytical framework is an important contribtution and gives much food for thought for all scholars of religious studies.' Social Anthropology
