Encountering God A Spiritual Journey from Bozeman to Banaras

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 toward a bold new Christian pluralism. '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 Praise for Banaras: City of Light 'An admirable and lucid work.' --Times Literary Supplement 'A luminous work, as befits this City of Light.' --Huston Smith, Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion, Syracuse University
