Product Description
Through Her Eyes is a timely and unique account of world religions told from the point of view of a group of preeminent female scholars. In this volume, intended for students and general readers, contributors share with the reader how their particular religious tradition sheds light, in its own unique way, on the concept of religion itself; how it similarly offers insights valuable for the study of religion and what it tells us about being human. Further, they reflect on the ways in which the tradition entered their lives, making them what they are now and how it might help to shape two futures: that of women and that of religion. The world's major religious traditions are represented and presented by a scholar from that tradition, including: Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, the Primal Religions, and the Tradition of the Goddess.
