One of today's foremost mystics introduces readers to the thought
of one of the most important spiritual teachers of the past
century. Bede Griffiths—English Benedictine monk and lifelong
friend of C.S. Lewis, who was his tutor at Oxford—wrote in 1955
to a friend: "I'm going out to India to seek the other half of my
soul." There, he explored the intersection of Hinduism and
Christianity and was a driving force behind the growth of
interspiritual awareness so common today, yet almost unheard of a
half-century ago. Wayne Teasdale, a longtime personal friend and
student of Griffiths, provides readers with an intriguing view into
the thoughts, beliefs and life of this champion of interreligious
acceptance and harmony. This volume is the first in-depth study of
Bede Griffiths' contemplative experience and thought. Fully
exploring the antecedents and development of Griffiths' theory that
the Christian mystery can be expressed through the worldview of
Hinduism, Bede Griffiths: An Introduction to His Interspiritual
Thought is a vital starting point for any spiritual seeker who
wants to understand the shared territories of these two great
faiths.
