Now available in an English edition, Yann Vagneux undertakes
a thorough synthesis of the thought of French theologian and
missionary Jules Monchanin (1895-1957). Raising theological
questions and conundrums that few thinkers involved in
Hindu-Christian studies dare to tackle, this volume follows
Monchanin's time in India from 1939 to 1957. Based on
unpublished notebooks and letters, it carefully charts how
Monchanin's development of a trinitarian ontology and his
study of Hindu mysticism were mutually illuminating, driven
by problems of the One and the Many in both traditions.
A key text for students and researchers in comparative
philosophy of religion, The Trinitarian Mysticism of Jules
Monchanin further provides scholarly material in several
appendices, including: a chronology of Monchanin's writings;
a bibliography of published and unpublished works by and
about Monchanin and a reconstruction of Monchanin's thinking
on time, which he elaborated in letters and fragmentary
notes but was unable to complete before his death.
