[Figure: see text] This essay addresses the question of the home of the comparative theologian, arguing that it is not inappropriate for a theologian to have a home, whence the comparative theological work is undertaken, and to which one returns after deep inter-religious learning. Inter-religious learning impresses upon us the value of having a home; certain poetic traditions make it almost impossible to imagine writing from nowhere, without a strong sense of personal place and of the place one visits in study. “Having a home” is also a matter of being willing to be accountable, explaining oneself to the community to which one belongs. The essay speaks of the author's many visits to India, showing how they have accentuated the dynamics of home, going abroad, and returning home
