Klaus K. Klostermaier (Author)
Synopsis The compelling history of the Hindu tradition is captured succinctly by Klaus K.Klostermaier in this new survey of a rich and ancient religion. In a style both accessible and erudite, this comprehensive study of Hindu history moves swiftly but thoroughly through the ages, from the early emergence of the Vedic tradition to development sin twentieth-century Hinduism. A wealth of factual information is finely balanced with illuminating discussion of such problematic areas as the true origins of Hinduism and the controversy of the Aryan Invasion. Other features include: full coverage of all the major branches within the religion, and their origins, the role of philosophical reflection in the development of Hinduism, the future of Hinduism, a quick-reference chronology, bibliography and extensive glossary. This authoritative guide to the development of a major religion is essential reading for anyone interested in the subject, from the undergraduate to the curious general reader, and can be used as a companion volume to Hinduism: A Short Introduction.
