Taoism

This engaging series is the first to offer young adults a concise, completely current, and very readable survey of the world's great religions.

Each volume describes where a particular religion is practiced, its central beliefs and rituals, its contributions to world civilizations, and an analysis of how it has spread through immigration and conversion.

This volume offers an enlightening explanation of Taoism's basic outlook and a clear account of its metamorphosis, from a mystical way of life to a religion of monastic orders and secular hierarchies.
