Living Religions, Books a la Carte Plus Myreligionlab -- Access Card Package Paperback - 2010 - 8th Edition

Mary Pat Fisher writes about all religions, not only from academic research, but also from her experiences with religions around the world. Much of her knowledge comes from the unique interfaith community in India, Gobind Sadan, where she has lived since 1991. In addition to eight editions of Living Religions, she has written other textbooks about religions and also about art.

People of all religions also come to the Gobind Sadan Institute for Advanced Studies in Comparative Religions, in New Delhi, where it is my good fortune to meet and speak with them about their spiritual experiences and beliefs. In preparing this book, I have worked directly with consultants who are authorities in specific traditions and who have offered detailed suggestions and resources. For breadth of scholarship, I have engaged the help of a new group of consultants..."EIGHTH EDITION CONSULTANTS: JOSEPH ADLER "Kenyon College"AFE ADOGAME "University of Edinburgh"ROBIN RINEHART "Lafayette College"KARMA LEKSHE TSOMO "University of San Diego"WANG MINQING "Cornell University and Hunan University, China"VANESSA OCHS "University of Virginia"AMY DEROGATIS "Michigan State University"ALI IHSAN YITIK "Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey"DR.
