'A welcome addition to the current range of introductory materials on Hinduism....Rodrigues' treatment is sympathetic and sensitive, managing to suggest a sense of both of the breadth and richness of Hindu tradition and of its underlying unity.' - Sushil Mittal, James Madison University, USA
Introducing Hinduism is the ideal starting point for students wishing to undertake a comprehensive study of this fascinating religion. This lively introduction explores the complexities of Hinduism, including its social structures, especially its caste system, its rituals and many scriptures, its vast mythology and varieties of deities, and its religious philosophies. Hillary Rodrigues, an experienced teacher of the Hindu tradition, emphasises the importance of Hindu rituals and practice, subjects of particular interest in contemporary scholarship. Illustrated throughout, the book also includes text boxes, summary charts, a glossary and a list of further reading to aid students' understanding and revision.
