The primary focus of this study is to view Eliade as not only a historian of religions but also as a theologian, a philosopher, novelist and as someone engaged in cross-cultural dialogue with other religious traditions. Besides attempting to view Eliade's work from a variety of perspectives, this study contends that the scholarly work of Eliade cannot be separated from his own personal quest for meaning.Preface - Acknowledgements - Introduction - Religionswissenschaft - The Fore-Structure of Hermeneutics - Theology of Nostalgia - Dialogue and the Other - Sacred Language and Soteriology - Ontology and the Sacred - The Phenomenon of Power - Time and Nostalgia - Seeking the Center - IndexCARL OLSON
