Hinduism, TM, and Hare Krishna (Zondervan Guide to Cults and Religious Movements)

Part of the esteemed Zondervan Guide to Cults and Religious Movements series, Hinduism, TM, and Hare Krishna provides an objective, concise, and biblically grounded overview of eastern religious traditions and their Western adaptations. Researcher J. Isamu Yamamoto examines the historical origins, primary texts, pantheistic worldviews, and core practices of traditional Hinduism, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Transcendental Meditation, and ISKCON (Hare Krishna). Yamamoto contrasts eastern concepts of karma, reincarnation, and maya with biblical doctrines of creation, sin, and redemption through Christ, equipping Christians to engage adherents with theological clarity and genuine love.
