Book Cover
The Blackwell Companion to Hinduism

This Companion presents the most recent scholarly thinking about Hinduism in an accessible way. It provides at forum for the best scholars in the world to make their views and research available to a wider audience.

While comprehensively covering the textual traditions of Hinduism, the volume also includes material on Hindu fold religions and stresses the importance of region in analyzing Hinduism. In doing so, it reflects the current move away from essentialist understandings of Hinduism and towards traditionally and regionally specific studies.

The Companion as a whole spans the entire field of Hindu studies and is divided into four coherent sections: theoretical issues, textual traditions, theologies, and Hindu society and politics.
