The vast range of views concerning human sexuality from within the Eastern Religions - Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Janiism and a myriad of Chinese religio-philosophies - are represented in the previously-published articles selected for this collection.
Under the rubric of ''Religions of the East'', which includes Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Janiism and a myriad of Chinese religio-philosophies, are a vast range of views concerning human sexuality. These contrasting attitudes are mapped through this volume on Religions of the East in The Library of Essays on Sexuality and Religion series. Part 1 presents previously-published articles that explore several Eastern Religions in the way they construct sexuality through expressions of their pertinent holy writings and belief systems, as applied in differing historical and cultural contexts. Part 2 takes sexual renunciation and asceticism as its focus through the traditions of Hinduism, Jainism and the Chinese religious systems. Part 3 explores the connection between sexuality, gender and sexuality in Hindu and Buddhist customs in varied social settings. The final part of the volume includes articles examining Eastern religions in their attitudes towards sexual ''variants'' including bi-sexuality, trans-sexuality and contested sexual categories.
