Christianity in India
Author: Clara A.B. Joseph
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 135112384X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
By studying the history and sources of the Thomas Christians of India, a community of pre-colonial Christian heritage, this book revisits the assumption that Christianity is Western and colonial and that Christians in the non-West are products of colonial and post-colonial missionaries. Christians in the East have had a difficult time getting heard—let alone understood as anti-colonial. This is a problem, especially in studies on India, where the focus has typically been on North India and British colonialism and its impact in the era of globalization. This book analyzes texts and contexts to show how communities of Indian Christians predetermined Western expansionist goals and later defined the Western colonial and Indian national imaginary. Combining historical research and literary analysis, the author prompts a re-evaluation of how Indian Christians reacted to colonialism in India and its potential to influence ongoing events of religious intolerance. Through a rethinking of a postcolonial theoretical framework, this book argues that Thomas Christians attempted an anti-colonial turn in the face of ecclesiastical and civic occupation that was colonial at its core. A novel intervention, this book takes up South India and the impact of Portuguese colonialism in both the early modern and contemporary period. It will be of interest to academics in the fields of Renaissance/Early Modern Studies, Postcolonial Studies, Religious Studies, Christianity, and South Asia.

Engaging Hinduism
Author: Christopher Poshin David
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789351484226
Category : Apologetics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Hinduism is now truly a global spiritual phenomena, and no more merely the prevailing religious and philosophical worldview of India alone. Christians through the centuries have meaningfully tried to engage with Hinduism but with limited success. Hinduism continues to be the Indian Church's biggest challenge calling for an intellectually robust and comprehensive system of apologetics. To address this, the book introduces presuppositional apologetics, a Biblical and relatively untried model of apologetics in India. Scholarly and at the same time practical, the author demonstrates ho presuppositional apologetics can be effectively employed in the Indian context by engaging with the neo-Hindu philosophical thought of Swami Vivekananda."--Book jacket.

Rethinking Hindu Ministry
Author: H. L. Richard
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780878085125
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Hindu traditions are diverse and complex. Simple summaries of Hindu beliefs and practices lack appreciation for the allure which captivates Hindus themselves. This collection of papers from seasoned practitioners observes Hindu traditions and Hindu ministry from new angles, introducing new perspectives on ministry in Christ's name that are relevant far beyond the Hindu world. Broad conceptual pictures are presented along with detailed practical advice and introductions to remarkable Hindus who surrendered to Christ and wrestled with the meaning of following Him in their Hindu families. This is the first book to turn to for pointers on sharing Christ with Hindus.

Re-thinking Religious Pluralism
Author: Bindu Puri
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811595402
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
This book combines the mainstream liberal arguments for religious tolerance with arguments from religious traditions in India to offer insights into appropriate attitudes toward religious ‘others’ from the perspective of the devout. The respective chapters address the relationship between religions from a comparative perspective, helping readers understand the meaning of religion and the opportunities for interreligious dialogue in the works of contemporary Indian philosophers such as Gandhi and Ramakrishna Paramhansa. It also examines various religious traditions from a philosophical viewpoint in order to reassess religious discussions on how to respond to differing and different religious others. Given its comprehensive coverage, the book is of interest to scholars working in the areas of anthropology, philosophy, cultural and religious diversity, and history of religion.
