Renowned lecturer Mark W. Muesse brings readers into an encounter with the world's oldest living religious tradition; known as Hinduism. Muesse's brief survey challenges the perception of Hinduism as one religious tradition; showing how wonderfully rich and diverse this ancient story truly is. Muesse traces the vast history and practices of classic and diverse traditions; moving from the origins in the Indus Valley up through classic and contemporary periods. He exhibits a keen sense of the myriad spiritualities associated with Hinduism; demonstrating how the religious tradition is both monotheistic and polytheistic. With photographs and maps; chapter overviews; timelines; summaries; key terms; study questions; suggested readings; and a glossary; Muesse's work incorporates valuable edagogy to enhance his engaging account of the many Hindu traditions.
