Raimon Panikkar

摘要

Decades before interfaithrnstudies and dialogue became all the rage, Raimon Panikkar set the Catholic world astir by insisting that Christianity could learn from Eastern religions. The diminutive Roman Catholic priest and scholar, son of an Indian Hindu father and a Spanish Catholic mother, was an unlikelyrntheological troublemaker. But Panikkar, who died Aug. 26 at 91, did as much to prepare his church for the globalization of Christianity as any Pope.
