From the rear cover
"A work of historic proportions. . . . A whole new world of ancient religious life is being opened to us here, and readers can trust Bokenkamp to guide them through that world."--Russell Kirkland, University of Georgia "Bokenkamp, whose previous works on Daoism are already deservedly well known and appreciated, presents complete translations of six major Daoist texts. His introductions to each of them delineate and elucidate some points of both the history and fundamental notions of Daoism, which so far have remained unclear or subject to debate. This book will undoubtedly provide a better understanding of Daoism."--Isabelle Robinet, author of Taoist Meditation: The Mao-shan Tradition of Great Purity "Early Daoist Scriptures combines the latest and best of world scholarship on the Daoist religion with fluent and accurate translations of essential primary sources. Professor Bokenkamp gives both the general public and specialist alike our first study of religious Daoism that tells the story of the development of its rich and complicated beliefs, practices, and institutions in historical and social context. Elegantly and cearly written, the book is a delight to read; it should also be the authoritative word on the subject for years to come." --Suzanne Cahill, University of California at San Diego
