About this product
Product Information
This book provides a much-needed thematic and historical introduction to Hinduism, the religion of the majority of people in India. Dr Flood traces the development of Hindu traditions from their ancient origins, through the major deities of Visnu, Siva and the Goddess, to the modern world. Hinduism is discussed as both a global religion and a form of nationalism. Emphasis is given to the tantric traditions, which have been so influential; to Hindu ritual, which is more fundamental to the life of the religion than are specific beliefs or doctrines; and to Dravidian influences from south India. An Introduction to Hinduism examines the ideas of dharma, particularly in relation to the ideology of kingship, caste and world renunciation. Dr Flood also introduces some debates within contemporary scholarship about the nature of Hinduism. It is suitable both for the student and for the general reader.

Reviews
"This new introduction to Hinduism is distinguished by exceptionally useful chapter divisions, good detail combined with ease of reading, and a particular focus on the integrated quality of the evolution of Hindu thought....The book's balance between scholarly detail and clear, readable elucidation of issues is commendable....In all, this is a valuable contribution to the undergraduate classroom. Libraries whose Hinduism holdings include other good introductions should, nonetheless, acquire this one." Choice, "...is one of the best and most informative intiations into Hinduism to date." Journal of Indo-European Studies, "...is one of the best and most informative intiations into Hinduism to date."Journal of Indo-European Studies, "An Introduction to Hinduism is a highly readable and authoritative conspectus on this great religion....An Introduction to Hinduism will surely find a much wider audience, for scholars of comparative religion, Indologists, and non-specialists in their distinctive ways will certainly find this handsome book well worth reading." David Hicks, Asian Thought and Society, "Flood's book is a very welcome newcomer, comprehensive, detailed and judicious." Francis X. Clooney, S.J., Theological Studies

Oh my goodness! I received my Bible today. I am so impressed and pleased. It is listed as a used Bible. It is like new! I can’t find the first marking. Meissner Library, you are awesome. Thank you so much for delivering such a gem. Communication was great and the Bible arrived with no damage to the packing or Bible. Will definitely recommend them!

BUYER BEWARE!!! This seller isn't reputable. I bought a book for $21.91 listed as the last one, paid immediately but the book was never shipped. After several emails requesting the book with no response, I finally got an email back stating that my order was being refunded. Their bogus reason was that there was an issue with my shipping address. Now they have the same book also listed as the last at $720.84. Could this be my book? From their negative feedback I'd say they have a habit of this.

eBay should restrict this seller. If you’re reading reviews prior to a purchase, I strongly suggest you shop elsewhere. I eagerly bought a book prior to reading seller reviews and encountered the same experience as others. The book never shipped and was ultimately cancelled and refunded with the reason given being “issue with buyer’s address”, which was totally false. Then the book was re-listed at a higher price. Ultimately this experience was a total waste of time and energy.
