Religious discourse uses ordinary language in an extraordinary way.
This book surveys Western and Indian discussions of the nature and aspects of religious dis course. It presents the first cross-cultural elucidation of Advaita Vedanta as religious discourse. This is an important and original book. It is a fine exposition of the questions about religious language and the problem of talking about the transcendent. I know of no one better able to expound an Advaitin viewpoint than Dr. Grimes.
