This book is a critique of western systematic theology. It borrows insights from India and other traditions; it is not a synthesis of religious traditions. The book includes two parts, method and systematics. It examines the traditional topics of systematic theology '- topics such as the existence and nature of God, revelation and reason, religious ethics and human practice, the relation of God to the world, Christology, and eschatology - and allows these topics to grow in conversation with India and to change according to dialogical insights. The book is prompted by a perceived need to cross the boundaries between western and Indian worldviews in a systematic and comprehensive way. The purpose of the book is to enable scholars worldwide to extend their theological resources and to look anew at the problems and prospects of a comparative, systematic theology.

In Let the Cow Wander, the author argues that metaphors inform our conceptual spheres and are in turn informed by them. The book begins with a discussion of metaphor, model, and conceptual sphere, followed by an investigation into Vedic and Advaitic sacred texts and by generalizations on religious explanation and practice.
