Overview
Overview
All arts and sciences, in their own way, ultimately try to come to grips with reality. What sets philosophy, theology, and religion apart is that they grapple with ultimate reality. Over the decades spanned by John Hick's life, in the course of this grappling (reminiscent of Jacob's nocturnal encounter with the angel) philosophy became analytic, theology dialogical, and religion comparative along one line of development. In these essays, written in honour of Professor Hick, leading world scholars in these fields share their most recent insights. They are, so to speak, postcards from the cutting edge. Arvind Sharma is Professor and the Faculty of Religious Studies at McGill University, Montreal where he teaches Hinduism, Indian philosophy, Sanskrit, Hindi, and comparative religion. He previously taught Indian philosophies, Indian religion, and comparative religion in Australia and the USA. He holds an MA in Economics from Syracuse University, a Master's in theological studies from the Harvard Divinity School, and a doctorate in Sanskrit and Indian studies from Harvard University.
