Introducing Japanese Religion is the ideal resource for students who are beginning their studies in the religious traditions of Japan. It offers a living picture of traditional and contemporary Japanese culture, and a rich understanding of the history and practice of religions in Japan. Robert Ellwood explores the religious heritage of this fascinating country, from the dawn of spirituality to the present day. He gives special attention to the traditions of Shinto, the different forms of Buddhism in Japan, including Shingon and Tendai, and Confucianism. He also explores Japanese New Religious Movements, including Aum Shrinrikyo. Each religion is clearly described in terms of its history, practice, sociology and organization, and Ellwood emphasizes how in practice Japanese religion interacts and intermingles. Finally, Ellwood discusses the influence of Japan on popular culture, including discussion of animé, and the transmission of Japanese spiritual, mythical and religious themes to the rest of the world. Introducing Japanese Religion also includes illustrations, lively quotations from original sources, learning goals, summary boxes, questions for discussion, suggestions for further reading and a glossary to aid study and revision.

Robert Ellwood's text offers an engaging, comprehensive, and clearly written overview of the major issues and positions in the study of mysticism. "I am very impressed with this second edition of Mysticism and Re- ligion. It is lucidly written, thorough, thoughtful, and filled with nu- merous vivid, first person accounts. Ellwood is well grounded in the current scholarly debates on mysticism, and his intellectual so- phistication and even-handed assessment of differing perspectives are readily apparent throughout the text." -G. William Barnard, Southern Methodist University "Ellwood's text is excellent and his methodology is sound; his illus- trations from both past and contemporary mysticism make his work simultaneously challenging and pleasant to read." -Edward Hughes, California State University at Long Beach
