The Spirit of Hinduism by David Burnett

This lucid introduction will equip all Christians seeking to reach Hindus with the gospel. Hinduism is a large, complex faith, rooted in the Indian subcontinent and finding many forms of expression. David Burnett brings together a vast array of information concerning the complex (and debated) history of Hinduism; the role of various deities (personal, family, village); the nature of Hindu worship; the role of ghosts and spirits; the ethical constructs and the place of pilgrimage (there are thousands of shrines). For this new edition Dr David Burnett has updated his text and added web-based resources for every chapter along with learning objectives and topics for discussion.
Dr David Burnett was until recently Academic Dean at All Nations Christian College, Ware, UK, and is a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute. He is author of a number of distinguished books including Clash of Worlds, The Spirit of Buddhism and World of the Spirits.
