Great World Religions: Hinduism

Great World Religions: Hinduism provides you with an engaging window into the roots of a faith that is perhaps the most diverse of all, and which rejects the notion that there is one path to the divine. Over the course of Hinduism's 5,000-year journey, you'll explore the pantheon of Hindu gods and goddesses; the sacred writings in the Vedas, the Bhagavad-gita, and the Upanishads; the Aryan language of Sanskrit; and much more. As you move chronologically through Hinduism's history—from its earliest precursors to its classical manifestations to its responses to the modern era—you continually place salient aspects of Hindu life and worship in historical and theological framework. The result is an engaging and comprehensive look at the world's oldest living religious tradition.
