Synopsis

This book examines the space of meeting between two religions that open up when there are honest attempts at interreligious learning. Taking Abhishiktananda and Bede Griffiths as examplars and the meeting between Advaita Vedanta and Christianity, the nature of the theological movements within are identified and the resultant hybridities assessed.
