This book is the study of the encounter between Western scholasticism and one classical Indian tradition of religious thought and practice: the Vedānta. It challenges existing parallels with modern philosophy of religion and forms of theism. It argues instead that there is an affinity between scholastic theology and classical Indian traditions. It considers the thought of Rāmānuja (traditional dates 1017-1137 C.E), who developed an influential form theist and realist form of Vedānta, and considers how this relates to that of the most influential of Western scholastics, Thomas Aquinas (1225-1224/5-74 C.E.).
