Description
A deeply learned, spiritual memoir by a renowned scholar of religion.
In Encountering God, Diana Eck shows why dialogue with people of other faiths is crucial in today's interdependent world - globally, nationally, and even locally. She reveals how her own encounters with other religions have shaped and enlarged her Christian faith towards a bold Christian Pluralism.
REVIEWS:
With this account of her life journey, Eck will be incorporated in the list of twentieth century interpreters who have facilitated the conversations of men and women dedicated to the interior life. - - Booklist
Although Encountering God is the work of a scholar and is throughout informed by scholarship, its intended audience is anyone who has ever entertained spiritual and religious questions. - - Boston Phoenix
Will benefit both the educated public and religious professionals. Highly recommended. - - Library Journal
