This book is the fruit of a Seminar on Indian theological methods held at Jnana-Deepa
Vidyapeeth, Pune. In addition to providing tools for theologizing in the Indian context,
this promotes reflection on important dimensions of theologizing enriched by the feminist,
interreligious, oriental and postcolonial perspectives, as also its consequences and
processes. The advancement of efficient communication of theology is facilitated. All in
all, it is a must read by the students, teachers and scholars of theology, alike.
