Hinduism

Review of the book by R. C. Zaehner

I needed a simple introduction to the beliefs and practices of Hinduism. This, however, is an account of the evolution of Hinduism in all its many forms, replete with historical details and directed at an audience already familiar with topic. Complicated concepts get short shrift in academic terms. For the right audience, this might be a great book. But for a beginner like me, it is not helpful.
