India is a highly diverse country, home to a wide array of languages, religions, and cultural traditions. Analyzing the dynamic religious traditions of this democratic nation sheds light on the complex evolution from India’s past to today’s modern culture. Written by leading experts in the field, Religions of India provides students with an introduction to India’s vibrant religious faiths.

These chapters are designed for cross-religious comparison, with the history, practices, values, and worldviews of each belief system explained.

This is the ideal textbook for students approaching religion in Asia, South Asia, or India for the first time.

The Origin and Growth of Religion
Author: Wilhelm SchmidtPublisher: Wythe-North Publishing
ISBN: 9780990738602
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
A much-sought-after volume, as it provides a glimpse into philosophy of religion in the early twentieth century. Wilhelm Schmidt, based on his research and observations as an anthropologist, contends the opposite of the evolutionary theory of religion -- which is, that all religions of the world originate in monotheistic worship. Translated by H. J. Rose, a noted scholar of classics, this edition features a new Foreword by Winfried Corduan, Ph.D.
