SUGGESTION: Beatrice Bruteau pioneer in interfaith spirituality studies

MJ. Smith

Bruteau was a pioneer in interspirituality and contemplative thinking. Her work bridged the boundaries of traditional academic disciplines, as she brought diverse subjects, such as science, mathematics, philosophy, religion, into conversation with one another. In her work, she explored mystical, contemplative and philosophical texts from multiple religions traditions, particularly within Buddhism, Christianity and Hinduism

This influential philosopher on Christian spirituality is completely missing in Logos/Verbum despite being a featured "book of the month" author in 1993 for a spirituality book club. She is especially critical for people working in multi-faith/missionary situations. However, there is a single request for one of her books:

• Beatrice Bruteau: The Holy Thursday Revolution | Logos

I have added these as her works are critical for spiritual direction and interfaith interactions. She is also referenced in several existing Logos resources.

• Beatrice Bruteau: Radical Optimism: Practical Spirituality in an Uncertain World | Logos
• Beatrice Bruteau: God's Ecstasy: The Creation of a Self-Creating World | Logos (Christianity dealings with science)
• Beatrice Bruteau: Other Half of My Soul: Bede Griffiths and the Hindu-Christian Dialogue | Logos
• Beatrice Bruteau: Jesus Through Jewish Eyes: Rabbis And Scholars Engage An Ancient Brother In A New Conversation | Logos 
• Beatrice Bruteau: Radical Optimism: Rooting Ourselves in Reality | Logos
• Beatrice Bruteau: The Easter Mysteries | Logos (Lenten and Easter readings)
• Beatrice Bruteau: Evolution Toward Divinity: Teilhard De Chardin and the Hindu Traditions | Logos
