Editorial Reviews
Review
The thirteen essays in this well-crafted volume themselves stretch across disciplinary boundaries and between scholar and practicing communities. . . . The uniformly readable yet challenging contributions make the volume an excellent choice for the classroom: an end point for surveys of Hinduism or even of world religions and a foundation text for newer courses on cultural diversity in America. -- Journal of Asian Studies

editor?,
This review is from: A Sacred Thread (Paperback)
I find it very interesting that a person who manages to edit a work such as this receives as much credit as Mr. Williams does. I am actually dumbfounded and flabbergasted by the amount of errors that actually make reading these 13 essays a struggle. It is hard enough, having to fight to understand all of the profound and complicated non-english words. Williams felt it was better to leave his explanation of these words to the end of the book, so when you finish reading and are completely lost you can only begin to start understanding what the essay writers meant to say. The essays themselves are no more than information presented in a very non-appealing and very text-book like manner. I found it extremely difficult to read through them, nevermind attempting to keep my mind from straying away from the topics. I have never been more dissapointed in a book as I was in this one.
