Abstract

The Fall 2001 issue of AEMS News and Reviews (Vol. 5, No. 1) is a special edition focused on religion, aiming to demystify Asia by showcasing its diverse spiritual traditions and their everyday practice. It features reviews of films and digital resources covering various faiths: Islam (e.g., "Mosque", "The Faith of Islam"), including a personal journey in "My Journey, My Islam"; Judaism in India as explored in "Salaam Shalom: The Jews of India"; Japanese Zen Buddhism (e.g., "One Precept", "The Principles and Practice of Zen"); and Shinto (e.g., "Nature, Gods, and Man in Japan", "Religions of the World: Shinto"). The issue also introduces Hinduism and Buddhism through "The Wisdom of Faith with Huston Smith", examines Chinese religion (Daoism, Confucianism, folk religions) via films like "Taoism: A Question of Balance" and "Believing", provides a guide to Sikhism on the Internet, and recommends affordable teaching materials on India, including Hinduism and Mahatma Gandhi's legacy. It serves as a valuable resource for educators to introduce students to Asia's spiritual diversity.
