John Main was one of the most interesting spiritual explorers of the late 20th century. A man of great culture and good heart, he was first a soldier in the war, then a diplomat in Malaysia, a university professor and finally a Benedictine monk. His journey did not end there, however, for he lived, taught and developed the form of meditation that a Hindu monk had taught him in Malaysia. In this book we will look at John Main's history, his intellectual influences, his theological thought, we will do a rigorous historical research on the origins of the Abrahamic and Dharmic religions, we will think about what John Main's thought has to do with today's scientific worldview and what it can also contribute to Christian thought.
