The first two parts of this book present four detailed historical
studies, filled with Geertzian "thick description," of the
encounters of Christianity and Buddhism (universal religions with a
high quotient of "transcendence") with various primal religious
traditions ("biocosmic" or "immanentist") of the Asian-Pacific
region, namely, Aboriginal Australia and Melanesia (Christianity)
and Sri Lanka and Japan (Buddhism). In each case, the encounters
represented a failure of the "great" traditions. In the third,
constructive and theological part of the book, the author shows how
an acknowledgement of these failures may provide a back door to
dialogue.
