"This book examines the space of meeting between two religions that open up when there
are honest attempts at interreligious learning. Taking Abhishiktananda and Bede Griffiths
as examplars, and the meeting between Advaita Vedanta and Christianity, the nature
of the theological movements within this 'Third Space' are identified, and the resultant
hybridities are assessed for their relevance to each tradition. After brief biographical
sketches, the author considers how these two monks related to the Indian space and
the background of colonial history, and then proceeds to use comparative theology
and postcolonial theory to examine their theology. Third Space Theory provides insights
into the process of hybridization that is taking place, leading to an appreciation
of the importance and challenge in the modern world of Third Spaces of meeting"
