- The Robert Bellah Reader
(Robert N. Bellah and Steven M. Tipton, Editors, Duke University Press, 2006)
This book is an introduction to Robert Bellah's work published over the last
fifty years; at first glance it appears to be quite a heterogeneous
collection, including a variety of subject matter and a variety of
genres, including some essays whose genre is blurred. It is a
collection that reflects Dr. Bellah's work and life: his scholarship in
sociological theory and in a variety of cultures and societies; his
engagement, not only in the life of the university, but also in ethics,
politics, and religion.
- Imagining

essays that consider the entire sweep of Japanese history and the
character of Japanese society and religion.
