Vedanta and Christian Faith (The Basket of Tolerance Series)

About this book

The essays in this book represent the best of the modern East-West religious dialogue. Each of the authors speaks from the profound personal experience not only of his native Spiritual tradition but as one who has deeply imbibed the religious life of an entirely different culture. Bede Griffiths and Swami Abhishiktananda (Pere Henri Le Saux) both European Catholic priests spent most of their lives in India while Swami Paramananda a close disciple of Swami Vivekananda followed his Master to the West. All three write with the passion of men who have committed their lives to discovering the Truth beyond the creeds of their own faith and who feel impelled to likewise draw others out of religious provincialism and prejudice to glimpse what Bede Griffiths calls the ultimate mystery of being.
