Theological Explorations in the Global Era (Essays in Honour of Prof. Felix Wilfred): Edited by Patrick Gnanapragasam and Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza; ISPCK, PB No. 1585, Madarsa Road, Kashmere Gate, Delhi-110016. Rs. 650.

In this collection of essays written by some very famous theologians some are very interesting giving the reader a good sense of how fine the craft of scholarship and spirituality (webbing delicately, like a dream catcher) in narrative is. Roland Barthes in the “Rustle of Language” argues that science, literature, and the pursuit of pleasure, in ideas, is the wealth of nations, and indeed the monasteries and the universities have always made this their vocation. Social science and theology, when dealing with spirituality may be classified in the vocabulary of pleasure, where it combines truth and invention in startling ways.
