Read the Introduction.
"Heehs includes selections and transcriptions of about 200

diversity of spirtual perspectives."
-- "Library Journal"
Indian Religions is an expansive collection of the key written
and oral texts by spiritual teachers from South Asia, covering
3,500 years and all the major traditions-Buddhism, Jainism,
Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism, and "new" Indian religions.
The volume provides clear translations of extracts from original
documents and texts from most of the well-known and many of the
lesser-known individuals and traditions. Overlapping parts and
sections each comprise a historically and thematically defined
stage of a tradition. The reader is thus able to follow the
chronological development of the various traditions without
isolating them from one another. Each section includes a
context-setting introduction which provides historical, cultural,
and textual background. A general introduction lays the foundations
for the text's theoretical framework and approach.
Indian Religions is the most complete and best-organized
anthology of Indian religious/spiritual texts published to date. It
serves as an introduction to the history of religions in South
Asia, and will appeal to readers interested in India and Eastern
religions as well as students of religion and South Asian
culture.
