Asceticism, giving up sensual pleasures for a spiritual goal, is practised in many religions. This 2004 book focuses on Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism, and argues that asceticism must be understood within its tradition. The book provides a paradigm for comparative religion which will influence the development of the entire field.
