Description: These essays examine the significance of balance between the opposites in order to understand God and the world. The paradoxical relationship between the opposites are dialectical and creative in the organic model, in which God is both transcendent and immanent. The author explores how the complex of divine reality entails the dialogue of differences in a constructive way, using inter-religious dialogue and religion-nature dialogue as examples.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 107-111) and index.
