This study investigates how a comparison between the Catholic theologian Edward Schillebeeckx's controversial reading of Thomist philosophy and the Tibetan Buddhist Gendun Chopel's challenge to the standard Geluk teaching of Tsongkhapa's Madhyamaka philosophy might assist in rethinking conceptions of religious knowledge. Utilizing a wide variety of methodical approaches to establish an imaginary dialogue between these two thinkers, this comparison remains embodied in the thought and praxis of actual individuals, and yet still firmly embedded within the conversations and trajectories of their broader religious traditions.

VonWachenfeldt brilliantly explores the creative theories of religious experience and knowledge proposed by Schillebeeckx and Chopel in contexts of widespread doubt where traditional authority was questioned. Respecting their important differences, he demonstrates how Christian and Tibetan Buddhist perspectives can challenge and enrich each other. This is a major contribution to Buddhist-Christian scholarship.
