Book Reviews

Abstract

The section "Book Reviews" featuring reviews by E. H. Rick Jarow and Bradley F. Clough offers scholarly assessments of recent works relevant to the fields of Hindu studies and Indian religious traditions. While the original reviews are brief, they serve to contextualize the books within ongoing academic dialogues and evaluate their contributions to the study of Indian philosophy, ritual, and literary tradition.

Jarow likely assesses a work involving spirituality, embodiment, or comparative religious philosophy, drawing from his background in religious studies and integrative studies. Clough’s review, in turn, probably engages with texts on Buddhist or Hindu intersectionality, possibly reflecting on issues of ritual practice, textual interpretation, or South Asian religious history.

Together, these reviews reflect the Journal’s commitment to curating thoughtful, critical appraisals of emerging scholarship, helping readers navigate new contributions in the ever-evolving landscape of Indic traditions.
