The Festschrift (a collection of writings published in honour of a scholar) contains 26 essays that honor Father Troll. The volume was edited by Herman Roborgh, head of the School of Religion and Philosophy, Minhaj Univer-sity Lahore, Pakistan, and Jesuit Father Joseph Victor Edwin, lect-urer of Theology and Christian-Muslim Relations in Delhi’s Vidyajyoti Institute of Religious Studies. It was published by the Gujarati Sahitya Praksash in Gujarat.
The editors while introducing Father Troll as a scholar and ser-vant of reconciliation expressed joy in offering a bouquet of essays in honor of him through the edited volume.
Formed in the school of Igna-tian discernment, Father Troll was inspired by the Second Vati-can Council and its documents such as Lumen Gentium, Nostra Aetate and Dignitatis Humanae in his engagements with Muslims around the world.
