Hindu Monotheism

Discover the intricate relationship between monotheism and Hinduism in Hindu Monotheism by Gavin Dennis Flood, published by Cambridge University Press in 2020. In this thought-provoking exploration, Flood challenges the conventional understanding of monotheism as merely the belief in a single, transcendent God. Instead, he delves into the concept of a supreme deity that drives the universe and serves as the source of all other gods, who are seen as emanations of this ultimate being. With 75 pages of insightful analysis, this paperback edition offers a unique perspective on the complexities of Hindu beliefs and their implications for the notion of divinity. Ideal for students, scholars, and anyone interested in religious studies, Hindu Monotheism invites readers to rethink the definitions and boundaries of monotheistic thought within the rich tapestry of Hindu tradition.
