A Sakta Method for Comparative Theology: Upside-Down, Inside-Out offers a Sakta thealogy of religions and a Sakta anti-method, method, and a-method for comparative theology. For Saktas, the thread of religious diversity is part of the rich tapestry of cosmological, topographical, environmental, and bio-diversity, which is the Goddess’ collective (sama??i) and individuated (vya??i) forms. Sakta religious diversity is "complex, layered, and paradoxical, allowing ontological similarities, ontological differences, and irreducibility." A Sakta thealogy of religious diversity transcends humans and the borders of religion, politics, society, and speciesism.

Rodrigues takes a full-bodied approach to theology of religions and comparative theology. She pinpoints the postcolonial, intergenerational trauma that is often missed in conversations about the relative absence of Hindu interlocutors. Offering her own voice to these disciplines, she roots a Sakta thealogy of religions in the divine as one, none, and many; and she concludes with promising notes toward a holistic method for comparative theology.
Michelle Voss, Emmanuel College, Toronto School of Theology
A Sakta Method for Comparative Theology is a welcome addition to the maturing field of comparative theology. The Sakta tradition of the Goddess, most often neglected by theologians, points us to a more sensual and sensitive interreligious learning that corresponds to the realities of lived religion. Pravina Rodrigues is to be congratulated for this pioneering study, a book that is both scholarly and personal.
