Description
The first two parts of this book present four detailed historical studies, filled with Geertzian thick description, of the encounters of Christianity and Buddhism (universal religions with a high quotient of transcendence) with various primal religious traditions (biocosmic or immanentist) of the Asian-Pacific region, namely, Aboriginal Australia and Melanesia (Christianity) and Sri Lanka and Japan (Buddhism). In each case, the encounters represented a failure of the great traditions. In the third, constructive and theological part of the book, the author shows how an acknowledgment of these failures may provide a back door to dialogue.
