Sinopsis

The wordáAdvaitaáis Sanskrit for 'non-dual' or 'not two,' but the doctrine itself is by no means exclusively Hindu, being present in Buddhism, Islam, Taoism, and Judaism. In Christianity it has always been more implicit, though explicit with writers such as Dionysius the Areopagite, Eriugena, Eckhart, and even Dante. The great merit of this work is that it shows that non-dualism is neither pantheism nor monism, and that there is no incompatibility between orthodox Christian doctrine and the strictest understanding of non-dualism in theáAdvaita Vedanta. The implication is that non-dualism can again find expression within a Christian ambiance.áChristianity and the Doctrine of Non-Dualismáoffers one approach to this doctrine and to the greatest possible spiritual/intellectual adventure that is implied.
