DOWNLOAD EBOOKOrientalism and Religion offers us a timely discussion of the implications of contemporary post-colonial theory for the study of religion. Richard King examines the way in which notions such as mysticism, religion, Hinduism and Buddhism are taken for granted. He shows us how religion needs to be reinterpreted along the lines of cultural studies. Drawing on a variety of post-structuralist and post-colonial thinkers, such as Foucault, Gadamer, Said, and Spivak, King provides us with a challenging series of reflections on the nature of Religious Studies and Indology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Religion of the East: With Impressions of Foreign Travel A few notes have been added, with some things contained in which, all may not be pleased, as they may not be with some things contained in the discourses. I make no apology. What I have written, I am sure, is in a spirit of kindness and charity towards all who hold the Head, and regard the Christianity, which is common to all true Christians, as of more importance than any sectarian form of it. I could not forgive myself, and I should fear I could not be forgiven of my Master, if I should exclude from my fellowship those whom my Master loves and receives into communion with himself; and I am willing. On every suitable occasion, to bear testimony against this great evil. I would, that the sentiment once uttered by Robert Hall, were taken up and echoed from pulpit to pulpit through Christen dom If there be one truth clear as the sun in heaven, it is this - there should be no terms of communion but what are terms of salvation; and the man who is good enough for Christ, is good enough for me.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the first book to treat the impact of religious, philosophical and psychological traditions of the East on Western intellectuals, artists, travellers and spiritual seekers in the twentieth century. Addressed to both general readers and scholars of religion, it is especially valuable for its penetrating and inter-religious analysis of two of the most compelling themes now facing the world: the emergence of cross-cultural religious understanding of the natural order and ecological crisis and the metaphysical basis for both the formal diversity and essential unity of religious traditions of both East and West. The West has long romanticized the "mysterious" East, but it has, also, judged its traditions as "uncivilized." Our notions about Eastern spirituality have been formed by a succession of travellers, scientists, artists, intellectuals, poets, philosophers and missionaries, as well as by Eastern travellers who have spent time in the West. This book helps us to recognize the influence of Eastern ideas upon modern Western thought by tracing the history of engagements between East and West up until the present day. It concludes with a section that helps us to perceive the timeless value of the many Eastern contributions to the West's current intellectual and spiritual state.
