"Apart from some recent papers on Indian Christian thought this work also presents stray theological reflections of many years in a religious content of India. On the one hand people like Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, S. Radhakrishnan, Krishna Mohun Banerjea, S.K. George, Yesu Das Tiwari, W.H. Mill, and Pakenham Walsh are discussed and on the other, there are presentations on topics as varied as Indian Christologies, Eastern Theological Heritage, Hindu-Christian Apophatic Theology, Waters in Vedic - Post Vedic Traditions, Hindu and Islamic understanding of suffering and hope, and the Fundamentalism of the Sangh Parivar. The connecting thread remains a perspective in Theology of Religions that is open to receive insights from sister religious experiences for the reformulation and enrichment of one\'s own religious experience and thought."
