One Religion Too Many
One Religion Too Many is a Hindu pilgrim's progress
through the world's religious traditions. An eminent scholar of
comparative religion, Arvind Sharma provides a first-hand account
of how he came to be a party to the dialogue of religions-first
with his own religion, then with the comparative study of religion,
and finally with the religious universalism he has come to espouse
because of this heritage. Starting with an account of the Hinduism
of his family in Varanasi, India, Sharma then heads west, finding
himself dumbfounded by the Christian Eucharist, wondering if there
is a \"Hinjew Connection,\" grappling with Zen in Massachusetts, and
pressed into service to teach about Islam. Sharma writes with a
light touch, but even when his encounters and perceptions are
amusing, they are always insightful and thought-provoking. Western
readers, in particular, will enjoy seeing their own traditions
through the eyes of an Easterner who has come to know them well.
Sharma's ultimate perspective on religious universalism is a
welcoming vision for the globalizing world of the twenty-first
century.
