"Jainism is one of the world's oldest religious traditions. Is it still a living and
dynamic faith?" "The Indian religion of Jainism, whose central tenet involves nonviolence
to all creatures, is one of the world's oldest and at the same time least-understood
faiths. Paul Dundas looks at Jainism in its social and doctrinal context, discusses
its history, sects, scriptures and ritual, and describes how the Jains have, over
two and a half thousand years, defined themselves as a unique religious community."
"This revised and expanded edition takes account of new research into Jainism as carried
out over the last ten years."--Jacket
