Dr Adarsh Deepak Memorial Book Award,
Hindu and Catholic, Priest and Scholar: A Love Story, Francis X. Clooney, T&T Clark, 2024.
This autobiography traces Francis X. Clooney’s intellectual and spiritual journey from middle-class American Catholicism to a lifelong study of Hinduism. It explains how he became interested in learning from Hinduism more than 50 years ago, and how professionally he came to fashion comparative theology as a way of learning interreligiously that is boldly intellectual and deep personal and practical. His strong commitment to Hindu-Catholic learning is lived out in intersections of his roles as theologian and scholar of Hinduism, as a professor and practicing Catholic priest, and even now in his role as Parkman Professor of Divinity, Harvard University.
