Indo-Judaic Parallels: Notes on Similar Motifs in Judaism and Hinduism

Indo-Judaic Parallels is an orderly collection of these notes, which the author hopes will encourage analysis in greater depth and detail. Indeed, this material is presented as the first step in a possible developmental process to produce cumulative conclusions on such intercultural influences.
