parte 2, más basado pero poco honesto en algunos sentidos

This book has been sitting on my shelves for over a decade, in part because I was really excited by what I thought it would be about and my desire to savor it in the right time.

Well... it wasn't what I thought it was and I didn't savor it. In the end I skimmed this one to get it off my shelves and move it on to its next life at a used bookstore. No stars for myself and my naivety in picking it up, but also no stars because I can't say I got enough out of it to review it. I'm not in the headspace anymore, nor am I the target audience, though Raimon Panikkar sounds like he was a pretty cool person. Maybe I'll look for some old interviews with him instead.

Chapters 1&2 were excellent, Chapter 3 was very hard to follow for someone who’s not into things like formal proofs of God’s existence. I think I understood, broadly though, the philosophical points that were being made.
