Annotation That is, Christian theology after reading Vedanta. An experimental combination of three elements: a detailed study of the Indian theology called Advaita Vedanta; a re-examination of Christian comparative theology as rethought in the light of Vedanta insights; and an exploration of the tensions between the first two. Paper edition (unseen), $14.95. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
