520			_aThe book shows how the theology and Christian anthropology of Gregory Palamas-a prominent eastern theologian, mystic, and pastor who continues to be a great relevance to theological thinking and in monastic life-have an immense affinity with the teachings of the great religions of Asia. It also demonstrate how the palamite teaching can facilitate a dialogue between Christianity and the said religious traditions. The author has an extensive and profound knowledge of the key concepts of the eastern religions, which allows him to see deeply into the possibilities of intereligious dialogue through the hesychastic thoughts of Palamas. Of greatest significance is the work's confirmation of the growing conviction of many experts that rational knowledge is not the instrument that can make the said dialogue possible, but mysticism and spirituality from which emerges a type of Knowledge of God that belongs to a different order of reality and that suprisingly leads to the discovery, in a very vital level, of great similarities in the way of reaching God and in the way of perceiving the Divinity. The part dedicated to Christian Religious Life as a form of life endowed with possibilities for realizing the much desired intereligious dialogue in Asia is very substantial. -- by Prof. Fernando Rodriguez Garrapucho Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca
