Infos

This book offers a theological reflection of great depth that does not fall into the trap of simplistic syncretism, nor into the temptation to "Christianize" a tradition that is thousands of years old and has its own coherence. By agreeing to leave the obvious behind, without ever denying what makes his Christian faith unique, Yann Vagneux offers us an authentic dialogue that accounts for a dual expatriation: from Christianity to the Hindu world and from Hinduism to the Christian world.

The author invites readers to adopt the theological attitude of listening in order to discern the silent symphony of the Spirit that springs from Hindu wisdom, even if it means being disoriented. This is the condition for becoming a true "cooperator of the truth." Is the truth not precisely a pilgrimage, an invitation to a journey away from familiar shores?
