Biography
Fred W. Clothey
'What sets this book apart is (a) the emphasis on the arts, (b) discussion of rituals at various points in the narrative, and (c) its attention to the other [non-Hindu] religions of India and, to some extent, their interaction. This promises to be the best introduction to date on the religion of India.' - Vasudha Narayanan, University of Florida, USA
'Clothey's purpose is worthy and necessary. At present there is no complete textbook for undergraduates on the religions of India.' - Rick Jarow, Vassar College, New York, USA
'This is an extremely worthwhile endeavor, and it should produce a book for which there is considerable need. The endeavor is also, of course, an extremely ambitious one, especially the goal of combining accessibility and contextual richness. But, from what I have read, it seems likely that Clothey's book will go far toward achieving this goal.' - Anne Feldhaus, Arizona State University, USA
