Hinduism today
'Up-to-date scholarship and deep understanding of the Hindu tradition, a creative, vibrant approach combining case study, personal experience, textual and linguistic understanding, and a deep sensitivity to the religious worlds of others. Unfamiliar concepts and practices are explained clearly, difficult issues of caste and politics dealt with directly, and a shrewd appreciation of changes and developments conveyed. Whether writing about religious practice in Rishikesh or Wolverhampton, Jacobs brings the Hindu tradition to life and interprets it very well.'-Robert Jackson, Professor Of Religions And Education, University of Warwick, UK, And The European Wergeland Centre, Oslo, Norway
