"In this concise, user-friendly volume, John Renard introduces readers to the major historical, cultural, spiritual, and theological points of interest about Confucianism, Daoism, and Shinto. This book identifies and explains the religious and sacred elements of these three major traditions, which are indigenous to China and Japan, in addition to exploring their ethical and philosophical dimensions as well as their community structures and impact. The general reader and student will find here sections on: origins and sacred texts, historical and theological developments, doctrines and practices, legal and moral concerns, systems of religious authority, spirituality and popular piety, visual and artistic expressions of religious values, internal diversity and relations with other traditions, women, family, and community." "There is also an explanation of varieties, schools, and subcommunities, a glossary, a timeline, a bibliography, and an index."--BOOK JACKET.
