| Reviews |
"A generous reading of the text finds much to commend…… Berkwitz’s excellent opening chapter introduces the reader to contemporary issues in historiography and how they apply to the study of Buddhism. ….By Cultures, Berkwitz allows the instructor ample room for his or her own contrast, criticism, and creativity in the classroom."

"Buddhism in World Cultures: Comparative Perspectives is very highly recommended as a welcome and informative addition to academic and community library Buddhist studies reference collections."
