] Prof. Flood 's history of research and publication is notable. His publications include " [http://assets.cambridge.org/97805214/33044/frontmatter/9780521433044_frontmatter.pdf An Introduction to Hinduism] "; "Body and Cosmology in Kashmir Saivism"; and "Beyond Phenomenology: Rethinking the Study of Religion". He is also the editor of "The Blackwell Companion to Hinduism".

Prof.Flood remarked: "I have always had a general interest in Hinduism,even as a boy when I remember reading an article in the Encyclopedia Britannica that was utterly compelling and utterly incomprehensible for me at the time!" Hindu studies, he says, should be devoted to "the deepening of knowledge about Hindu traditions, the development of reflection on the arts and literature (particularly in the vernacular) of Indian culture, and the development of Hindu theological reasoning from within those traditions,in ways that meet modern criteria of rigour.cite journal
