Jacques Dupuis, a Jesuit who spent decades teaching in Rome and India, developed notions of religious pluralism over time and after the changes of Vatican II that suggested every religion could be a path to God in its own way. Ultimately he was silenced and denounced by the Vatican, who saw him as the symbol of post-Vatican II accommodation to other religions and a sign of dangerous elements in the Jesuits and other religious orders active in Asia. The book is based on an extended interview with learned Vatican observer Gerry O'Connell.
