When it comes to grasping who Jesus was and is, the author, Indian Jesuit Michael Amaladoss, S.J. argues that images can be as important as doctrines. In The Asian Jesus he unfolds nine images from Asian literature, culture and religion that can lead us to new depths in understanding and accepting the person of Jesus, the Christ. Fr. Michael Amaladoss, S.J. is director of the Institute for Dialogue with Cultures and Religions in Chennai (formerly Madras), India. He has also worked in Rome as a consultor to the Superior General of the Society of Jesus.
