An Emulation of Sanctity

World Religions

“A pilgrim himself, Yann Vagneux invites us—Hindus and Christians—to understand ourselves as pilgrims journeying in friendship towards the divine who always exceeds our understanding. He shows us that by attentively and humbly opening our hearts and minds to each other, we could share what is most sacred and dear to us, we could become more authentic versions of ourselves, and we could be enriched by experiencing the deep sanctity in each other’s lives. His writing is suffused with a deep love for Hindus and the insights of Hindu spirituality. This book resonates with the message that it is only through such love and embrace that one could hope to enter into and understand a tradition different from one’s own.”

Avoiding Harm

World Religions

“A significant contribution to our understanding of how an Islamic community interpreted its sacred sources to respond compassionately to the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. A. Rashied Omar’s exegesis of Islamic sources is learned and scholarly but also inspired by a deep faith, love, and commitment to the well-being of others. I hope his work inspires similar documentation by other world religions.”

The Hindu Traditions

World Religions

“Of all the world's religions, Hinduism's diversity presents special challenges. Mark Muesse presents well this diversity in his treatment of specific texts, traditions, and practices. Properly focused on widely shared beliefs and practices, Muesse is also attentive to matters of contemporary controversy. This book should work well in courses and is a fine addition to introductory texts on Hinduism.”

The Immanent Divine

Theology

“This is a faithful and engaging inquiry into the theological assumptions of two seminal theologians, Sankara and Paul Tillich, illumining the questions and concerns that are central to all non-dualistic worldviews.... [Thatamanil] creatively shows how the theologies of Sankara and Tillich are enriched by being brought into dialogue with each other and with emerging non-dual perspectives. His detailed and thoughtful analysis is a significant and exciting contribution to non-dual comparative theology and to Hindu-Christian dialogue.”

The Meeting of Opposites?

World Religions

“A much-needed analytical update on contemporary Hindu-Christian dialogue. Andrew's diligent fieldwork is enriched by his commitment and personal experience as one of the foremost scholars engaged in this conversation.”
