The author of this volume is an impressively thorough researcher, leaving no stone unturned in piecing together insights from thinkers both ancient and modern. Soars brings to his study an expert command of languages, both classical and contemporary, as well as the capacity for refined and astonishingly rigorous analytic thinking. He is, moreover, a clear and engaging writer who knows when to pause, for the reader's sake, to summarize challenging ideas and distinctions. The book therefore has the ability to speak to both the trained scholar as well as to those readers not deeply conversant with Hindu and Christian philosophy and theology.-- "Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies" In directing our attention to the orchards we have unjustly neglected, this book deserves a wide readership.-- "Modern Theology" Daniel Soars's The World and God Are Not-Two is a compelling and carefully rendered comparative theological study of distinction, and of distinctions between creator and creation in Christian and Hindu worldviews. This erudite and captivating study is required reading for scholars of Hindu-Christian studies and comparative theologians more generally. Systematic theologians are also sure to benefit from Soars's invitation to think comparatively.

-- "Horizons: The Journal of the College Theology Society" This is the most precise and comprehensive treatment available on non-duality in Hindu-Christian perspective. Soars offers the strongest case that has ever been made for the deep and surprising convergence of the writings of Shankara and Thomas Aquinas on the mystery of creation, which is the mystery of non-duality. The book thus represents a milestone in Hindu-Christian philosophical-theological engagement and will be useful for any person interested in pondering the mystery of their own existence before God.---Bradley Malkovsky, University of Notre Dame, former editor of the Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies.
