Yann Vagneux: The Trinitarian Mysticism of Jules Monchanin, Gebunden

Klappentext

Now available in an English edition, Yann Vagneux undertakes a thorough synthesis of the thought of French theologian and missionary Jules Monchanin (1895-1957). Raising theological questions and conundrums that few thinkers involved in Hindu-Christian studies dare to tackle, this volume follows Monchanin's time in India from 1939 to 1957. Based on unpublished notebooks and letters, it carefully charts how Monchanin's development of a trinitarian ontology and his study of Hindu mysticism were mutually illuminating, driven by problems of the One and the Many in both traditions.

A key text for students and researchers in comparative philosophy of religion, The Trinitarian Mysticism of Jules Monchanin further provides scholarly material in several appendices, including: a chronology of Monchanin's writings; a bibliography of published and unpublished works by and about Monchanin and a reconstruction of Monchanin's thinking on time, which he elaborated in letters and fragmentary notes but was unable to complete before his death.
