nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Religious controversies frequently center on origins, and at the origins of the major religious traditions one typically finds a seminal figure. Names such as Jesus, Muhammad, Confucius, and Moses are well known, yet their status as 'founders' has not gone uncontested. Does Paul deserve the credit for founding Christianity Is Laozi the father of Daoism, or should that title belong to Zhuangzi What is at stake, if anything, in debates about 'the historical Buddha' What assumptions are implicit in the claim that Hinduism is a religion without a founder The essays in Varieties of Religious Invention do not attempt to settle these perennial arguments once and for all.
