The Bloomsbury Companion to Hindu Studies cover

Featuring chapters by an international team of leading scholars in the field, this is a comprehensive reference guide to Hindu Studies.

Originally published as The Continuum Companion to Hindu Studies, this Companion offers the definitive guide to Hinduism and study in this area. Now available in paperback, The Bloomsbury Companion to Hindu Studies covers all the most pressing and important themes and categories in the field - areas that have continued to attract interest historically as well as topics that have emerged more recently as active areas of research. Specially commissioned essays from an international team of experts reveal where important work continues to be done in the field and, valuably, how the various topics intersect through detailed reading paths. Featuring a series of indispensible research tools, including a detailed list of resources, chronology and diagrams summarizing content, this is the essential tool for anyone working in Hindu Studies.

The Continuum Companion to Hindu Studies is an excellent resource and enhancement to religious studies shelves, and especially recommended for academic and college library collections. -- The Midwest Book Review
'...The title of the volume is apt: the volume is best used not as an introduction to Hinduism, but as a guide to the complex field of Hindu studies.'—Choice Magazine
