In 1973 Richard De Smet wrote:

De Smet, Review of Marcus Braybrooke, The Undiscovered Christ: A Review of Recent Developments in the Christian Approach to the Hindu. Indian Journal of Theology 24 (1975) 66-71. M.III.33.

The patient task of sifting them and extracting from them the real diamonds has hardly begun.
