"In a Hindu-Christian dialogue on the nature and role of grace neither participant can meaningfully lock away - for security or whatever - his personal commitment to and belief in grace. Otherwise the 'dialogue' becomes one partner inspecting the other's opinions, and not a real existential exchange on the religious level". Raymond Panikkar "The studies in this volume cover a widw range of teaching on the subject of divine grace, from the Old and the New testament and the Fathers of East and West, and the main schools of Hindu thought, both Saivite and Vaishnavite. It reveals an extraordinary degree of parallel doctrine in the Christian and the Hindu tradition and shows how a real meeting can take place at this level between the two traditions".
