So also is the case with revealed theology. The others' approach to religious studies based on natural theology or apologetics is quite alien to the system of Jain religion. Dr. Sharma has not discussed the subject from the point of view of natural theology which was to demonstrate rationally the existence of God\/ thus preparing the way for the claims of revelation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApologetics refers to the philosophical defence of religious beliefs. It must, however, be distinguished from Jain philosophy, says Dr Sharma just as apologetics itself must be carefully distinguished from the philosophy of religion. To all intent and purposes.

Jaina art and its symbolic inventory held a special place in \u003cbr\u003eCoomaraswamy’s formulation of the history of Indian painting, indeed Indian civilization itself. He was the first to recognize its chronological place in the succession of style. The Jaina paintings are not only important for the student of Jaina iconography and archaeology which are illustrative of costumes, manners and customs, but are of grater interest because they are the oldest Indian paintings on paper, representing an almost unknown school of Indian art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHolding the view that in order to make these paintings fully comprehensible, a short account of Jainism and of the legends of Mahavira and Kalakacharya, which are the main subject of the paintings is given in this volume.

A leading scholar, V K Sharma here presents an altogether fresh, pan-Indian historical survey of this great religion, spelling out its beginnings, antiquity, doctrines, tirthamkaras, country-wide spread and, among other aspects, its contribution to India’s culture and art heritage — in all its varied manifestations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the latter part of the book, the author comes to focus upon Jainism in the specific contexts of Mathura — one of India’s ancient cities, which not only is venerated as the legendary birthplace of Lord Krishna, but is also famed as an eminent centre of Brahmanical, Buddhist and Jaina art. Thus shows Dr Sharma how this principal Vaishnava centre today had been a stronghold of Jainism: from c second century bc to about eleventh century ad; how it has contributed to Jaina canon, literature and iconography; and how in Mathura is traceable the centuries-long, unbroken history of Jaina plastic art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSetting out a panoramic view of Jaina architecture, sculptural art, and socio-religious life over the ages, specially in the sacred city of Mathura, this study is based on wide-ranging authoritative sources and supplemented by a number of highly representatives illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFOREWORD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABBREVIATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTRANSLITERATION CHART\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.

Drawing on field research in northern Gujarat and on the study of both ancient Sanskrit and Prakrit and modern vernacular Jain religious literature, John Cort provides a rounded portrait of the religion as it is practiced today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCort begins by looking at the institutional structures that make up Jain society and by examining the major facets of Jain practice.  Separate chapters present descriptions of temple worship and the connected Jain understandings of divinity, interaction between laity and monks and nuns, ascetic and dietary practices, and the many festivals and observances that make up the Jain calendar year. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe portrait of the Jains that emerges in this book is significantly different from those found in earlier text-based studies that failed to portray the lived experiences of Jainism. Cort’s own interpretation of Jainism focuses on a distinction between two realms and values. One is the clearly defined religious ideology that is at the core of mendicant practice and ideal lay practice, and whose goal is liberation.  The other, less clearly delineated because it stems from everyday ethics and religious imagination, is the realm of well-being. Cort demonstrates that this informal, unarticulated concept is the necessary complement to the formal ideology and is no less authentically Jain. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShedding new light on Jainism and highlighting the interaction between formal religious ideology and implicitly enunciated values, this highly original study will be of enormous value to both scholars and students in the fields of religious and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote on Language, Transliteration, and Names\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHymn to Pancasar Parsvanath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: On the Occasion of the Blessed Installation of the Lord\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Ideology of the Path to Liberation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJains and Jainism in Patan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGoing to the Temple: How to worship God\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGifting and Grace: Patterns of Lay-Mendicant Interaction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoly Asceticism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemembrance and Celebration: The Jain Religious Year\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeologies and Realms of Value\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHymn to Pancasar Parsvanath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"John E Cort \/ Oxford University Press \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40789722726569,"sku":"8232","price":38.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/8232.jpg?v=1625571941"}],"url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/collections\/jainism.oembed","provider":"India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
