Evolution toward divinity: Teilhard de Chardin and the Hindu traditions.

This was a difficult, slow read. I have enjoyed other books by Bruteau and wanted to see what she had to say about Teilhard de Chardin. I got a bit more understanding of his thinking. There is also a great deal of Hindu thinking on the topics of interest to Teilhard. Bruteau carefully shows, with profuse documentation, how Teilhard was wrong in thinking that Hindu beliefs were not compatible with his. This book shows that the things Teilhard thought were in fact believed long before by Hindus. So, I got what I was looking for--a better understanding of Teilhard--along with a whole lot more. Bruteau has written a book, Worthy Is the World: The Hindu Philosophy of Sri Aurobindo that will be a good follow-up I think. For anyone wanting to read Bruteau for the first time, I would recommend not starting with this one!
