Review Quotes

"The intellectual testament of one of the true spiritual giants of our times."--Catherine Corneille

"Raimon Panikkar is a unique thinker of our age, a philosopher, theologian and mystic; a Christian who has also internalized central moments in both the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. This book, a product of years of deep reflection, is his most accessible and his most moving. I highly recommend it to all philosophers, theologians, and religious thinkers."--David Tracy
