Capture Theology After Vedānta: An Experiment In Comparative Theology Edited By Francis X. Clooney Script

two respects this is a truly original book, First, it elaborates the fundamental truth that people and communities live from the word of scripture, not from doctrines to which scriptures tend to be reduced.
Second, this book refuses to take a higher view in theories applied to scriptures, Second, this book refuses to take a higher view in the History of Religions by passing superficially attractive judgments on either Christianity or Hinduism.
It does not take sides with either dogmatism or liberalism, and its impartiality is modest, The author does not attack any side he appreciates, compares, and then seeks such theological illumination as the process of appreciation and comparison warrants.


The message addressed to Catholic theologians deserves careful attention, My hunch is that historyofreligions scholars, some of whom are former Christians with chips on their shoulders, can learn a lot about just what kind of commitment is necessary to take

nonChristian religious traditions seriously.
