Description: The author brings together two ancient, continuous religious traditions, Hindu and Orthodox Christianity. She explores the Orthodox and Hindu ways of realising the divine potential within a human. In what ways do the Hindu teachings correspond to or differ from the Orthodox approaches to this goal? Frost attempts to answer this question by studying key theological motifs drawn from the Hindu religious world alongside their counterparts in Orthodox Christianity.
