Francis X. Clooney on comparative theology
At the beginning of Hindu God, Christian God, Francis X. Clooney explains why he wrote that book:
I […] wanted to find a way to say why it is good—and compelling—for beleiving theologians to persist in thinking at that edge where faiths encounter one another. […]
Improbably at first, I decided that thinking—logic, reasoning, and argument—offers us a sturdy bridge for making our way forward in our encounters with faiths and religious ways other than our own. The mind may sometimes hold us back, but quite often it travels ahead of us.
