Reviews

"...Gandhi's Pilgrimage of Faith offers a highly original and valuable point of entry to this unique spiritual journey." - Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies "This far-reaching study of Gandhi's life and work is the first to use the framework of moral and faith development studies. Thoroughly researched and written by one who knows the language, culture, and traditions that formed Gandhi, this book brings a distinctive, intimate, and penetrating understanding of Gandhi the man and the leader." - James W. Fowler, author of Stages of Faith: The Psychology of Human Development and the Quest for Meaning "The topic of Gandhi's life history and psycho-spiritual development is important to Indian studies, religious studies, and political science. This book makes an important intellectual contribution." - Harold Coward, editor of Indian Critiques of Gandhi
