Review Quotes:
"Combining an understanding of apophatic language in theology and mysticism with a passionate concern for issues of social justice and interreligious engagement in the contemporary world, this book is a major and eloquent contribution." - Michael Sells, author of Mystical Languages of Unsaying
"This book tackles one of the most significant problems that the study of religion has raised today: How do we remain committed to our own religious tradition and at the same time remain open to the beauty and validity of other religions? Written from the heart, the work combines excellent scholarship with eloquent style. Fascinating reading for anyone interested in the spiritual dimension." - Harold Kasimow, coeditor of No Religion is an Island: Abraham Joshua Heschel and Interreligious Dialogue
