In keeping with his conviction that studying multiple religious traditions intensifies rather than attenuates religious devotion, Francis Clooney's latest work of comparative theology seeks a way beyond today's religious and interreligious uncertainty by pairing a fresh reading of the absence of the beloved in the Biblical Song of Songs with a pioneering study of the same theme in the Holy Word of Mouth (9th century CE), a classic of Hindu mystical poetry rarely studied in the West.<Encountering TraditionsChristianity and other religionsHinduismHidden GodComparative studiesHinduismRelationsChristianityVaishnavismHymnsHistory and criticismChristianity and other religionsHinduism.Hidden GodHinduismRelationsChristianity.VaishnavismHymnsHistory and criticism.261.2/45Clooney Francis X(Francis Xavier),1950-875926MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827998603321His hiding place is darkness4047270UNINA
