Book Reviews of Hindu Goddesses: Visions of the Divine Feminine in the Hindu Religious Tradition (Hermeneutics: Studies in the History of Religions)

Book Review: Eh... it was okay.
Summary: 3 Stars

It's really a look at the Goddesses from a scholar's point of view without any religious attitudes whatsoever toward the subject matter. He treats the goddesses kind of like they're archaic symbols of some distant past, rather than great women of a living religious tradition. Good for students who are taking a course in this type of study, but not really good as a look at the goddesses through a devotional perspective.
