✦ Synopsis

First delivered in 1974 as one of the Jordan Lectures in Comparative Religion, this book considers and compares traditional or pre-modern and post-traditional or post-modern religions. It assesses the processes as well as the images of change in various cultures – principally Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism – and examines how these religions handle the dialects of rejection, appropriation and integration.
