Michael Amaladoss and the Quest for Indian Theology

Enrico Beltramini has accomplished a herculean task. He has written the definitive account of Michael Amaladoss: an esteemed Indian academic polymath, who faithfully served the Jesuit order and became globally renowned. Beltramini's familiarity with Amaladoss, his Indian context, and his massive corpus of writing makes this volume indispensable for those wanting to understand Indian Christian theology over the last century. --Dyron B. Daughrity, William S. Banowsky Chair and Professor of Religion, Pepperdine University, and coauthor of Understanding World Christianity: India Theologizing in the Indian context is a spiritual experience rooted in the Christian faith and grown in the soil of India, with its plurality of religions, cultures, languages, ethnicities, and socioeconomic conditions. Dr. Enrico Beltramini has succeeded in introducing readers not only to the contours of Indian Christian theology, but also to its breadth, length, depth, and height, by delving deep into the theological reflections and articulations of a great Indian theologian, Michael Amaladoss, SJ. --Jacob Parappally, MSFS, chief editor, Journal of Indian Theology I congratulate Prof. Enrico Beltramini for his scholarly monograph, Michael Amaladoss and the Quest for Indian Theology. Michael Amaladoss's theological writings are a mosaic of Indian life experiences, reflected as a pilgrim with an optic of God and God's people. They are pastorally positioned for the third-millennium church in Asia/India. --Pudota Rayappa John, SJ, former principal of Vidyajyoti College of Theology, New Delhi
