Learning Interreligiously offers a series of about one hundred
short pieces, written online between 2008 and 2016. They are meant
for a wide range of readers interested in interreligious dialogue,
interreligious learning, and the realities of Hindu-Christian
encounter today, and are rich in insights drawn from teaching,
travels in America and India, and the author's research on sacred
texts. The author, a Catholic priest who has spent more than forty
years learning from Hinduism and observing religion as a plus and
minus in today's world, has much to share with readers. Some pieces
were prompted by items in the news, some go deeper into traditions
and probe the rich Scriptures and practices going back millennia,
some seek simply to provoke fresh thinking, and others invite
spiritual reflection. The book is divided into several parts so
that readers can focus on individual events that made the news or
on longer term and more concerted study. Familiar texts such as the
Yoga Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita, the Qur'an, and key passages from
the New Testament will be considered for their spiritual
possibilities. Readers will find much here to learn from and
respond to as they too consider religion in today's world.
