Comparison is at the heart of religious studies as a discipline and foundational to the field's methodology. In this book, Arvind Sharma introduces the term "reciprocal illumination" to describe the mutual enlightenment that can occur when a comparison is made between one tradition and another, one method and another, or between a tradition and a method. Developing the concept of reciprocal illumination through historical, phenomenological, and psychological methods. Sharma demonstrates how to use comparison, while avoiding the pitfall of treating it as merely raw material for higher order generalizations.

Treasured Past

Burnt out from the emotionally grueling practice of family law, attorney Kate Brennen decides to take a mental health break and joins a corporate firm. Except for occasional annoyances (like her boss' insistence that she take on his brother's messy divorce case), the change is just what the doctor ordered. And the substantial salary increase and 9-to-5 schedule gives her more time and money for her preferred pastime: shopping for antiques. On one such outing, Kate meets Annie Walsh, owner of the small shop, Treasured Past. Although she's barely making ends meet, Annie finds struggling to keep her shop open preferable to dealing with the turmoil of her personal life. The women become friends and before long they are sharing much more than their passion for antiques. All signs point to a happy ending--until Kate learns they have more in common than she could have ever imagined... Treasured Past
