Published in 1945 by Mercure de France and revised by Jean De Dieu, The Religious Enigma of India offers a broad introduction to the spiritual and philosophical traditions of India.
The book explores the sacred texts of Hinduism, Indian conceptions of the universe and humanity, reincarnation, metempsychosis, the evolution of the idea of God and the principal doctrines of Vedanta.
It also examines the relationship between Vedantic thought and Catholic doctrine, providing a fascinating example of dialogue between Eastern and Western spiritual traditions.
Through this ambitious study, readers are introduced to one of the world's oldest religious traditions and the fundamental questions it raises concerning the soul, destiny and the meaning of existence.

About the author
The Reverend Father Paul belonged to a generation of scholars and missionaries who sought to understand Asian spiritual traditions through serious study and comparison rather than through simple exoticism.
Published in 1945, the book appeared at a time when many readers were turning towards philosophical and spiritual questions in the aftermath of the Second World War.
