But how many have thought to read the holy texts of other faiths in order to better understand our own?In this collection of Christian commentaries on the Bhagavad Gi ta, Christian theologians and scholars of Hinduism offer a variety of perspectives on the text, using different commentarial approaches and styles, from close textual analysis and exegetical comparison to more general theological reflection on the text, from comparison of the Gi ta with particular Christian classic to a focus on specific religious categories such as detachment, incarnation, and eschatology.Contributors: Michael Barnes Maria Clara Bingemer Bart Bruehler Francis Clooney Catherine Cornille Gavin Flood Reid B.
