Synopsis
is an introduction to the evolution, multidimensional nature and influences of Hinduism. Julius Lipner explores the religion as a family of religions rather that a monlithic entity. His approach is thematic and considers various topics such as the staus of women, the role of tradition and the narrative quality of Hindu faith. Born and raised in India, Lipner draws on his experience to explain what it means to be a Hindu in a changing world.
