Recenzijos
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Japanese Religions is a comprehensive set of essays addressing all areas of current research in the study of Japanese religions. Reflecting both ongoing work on established topics as well as introductions to emerging research on new areas, this Handbook is sure to be highly appreciated across the discipline of Religious Studies. * Helen Hardacre, Professor of Japanese Religions and Society, Harvard University, USA * The broad range of the topics treated, the emphasis on methodology, and the use of case studies make this book a unique and indispensable tool for anyone interested in Japanese religion. * Bernard Faure, Professor of Japanese Religion, Columbia University, USA * This is another valuable tool for studying religion in Japan, which I would warmly recommend to students and more advanced researchers in the search for updates and new perspectives. * Religious Studies Review * A more inclusive and balanced selection of scholarship given a general lack of Japanese contributors in Western publications Moreover, the Handbook has an easily accessible structure for those who do not possess expert knowledge of the topics covered highly recommended not only to undergraduate and postgraduate students and scholars but also to general readers, who are working on or interested in Japanese religions. * Journal of Religion in Japan *
