Dialogue as Way of Life is the second scholarly book by Kuruvilla Pandikattu. It is about Bede Griffiths' (a British man who has made India his home) attempts at fostering dialogue between religions, cultures and sciences. This book deals with the need of dialogue in today's culture. Stressing on the significance of meaningful and creative dialogue (among religions, cultures and sciences) it focuses on its pre-understanding and possible consequences. It is primarily focused on the dialogue between Christianity and Hinduism as practiced by Bede Griffiths. He has influenced the Indian Christian theology by introducing the notion of Christian advaita. This book is based on Bede Griffiths, a British monk who has made India his home. This is a significant contribution to Indian Christian theology, which has to deal with dialogue between religions as an existential fact of life.
