“To those habituated to theologies from the land, here is a highly fascinating and extremely illuminating volume of theology from the sea. It dwells in the cosmology, life world, and everyday practices of a group of Christian fisherfolk whose vision, values, moods, religious experiences, and motivations are drenched in the vagaries of the nurturing and, at the same time, menacing oceans.”

Eminently readable, flowing, and full of insights, the volume not only serves scholars in the field but is accessible as well to students of theology and readers in other areas and disciplines. It can provide inspiration and stimulus to those working at the grassroots in intercultural and interreligious settings.”
History & Biography
“The historical narratives in the book expose the hypocrisy of disowning the role of Christianity in the formation of European culture and identity. Simultaneously, it skillfully avoids projecting an imagined homogenous European Christian identity as the normative standard for the many Christianities worldwide, especially of the Global South. This highly thought-provoking work arrives at a critical juncture as Europe transits from secularism to nihilism. A refreshing approach makes it a compelling read.”

Gandhi's Truths in an Age of Fundamentalism and Nationalism
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Praise for Gandhi’s Truths in an Age of Fundamentalism and Nationalism “A splendid effort to bring wisdom and sanity to a world mired in religious fundamentalism and hyper-nationalism. The book throbs with creative and critical reinterpretations of Gandhi’s Truth from the margins, directed to universal well-being.”
Theology
“The lotus of D. Preman Niles has bloomed now as a new book with a provocative title! The present work represents the mature fruit of long years of experience of the author and his continuous and creative engagement with Asian theologies. Blending admirably the narrative and the argumentative, this book is an important contribution to Asian public theology and an exploration into its methods. The vision and perspectives set out here are highly refreshing, and will find, it is hoped, positive resonance beyond Asia, at the level of global theology.”
Theology
“A highly commendable contribution, indeed, to intertwine cultural-contextuality and concerns of the marginalized for a viable Indian ecclesiology. The author does it through a pneumatological vision that does justice to Christology. The project is illumined by bringing into conversation significant Spirit-theologians of India with Western paradigms. The dialectics of relationality and distinctness gives unity and coherence to the whole work.”
