Jacques-Albert Buttat, A Pioneer Of Hindu-Christian Dialogue, Klaus Klostermaier
Jacques-Albert Buttat, A Pioneer Of Hindu-Christian Dialogue, Klaus Klostermaier
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
The name Cuttat does not seem to appear often in current dialogue literature in spite of the key role which he played in getting Hindu-Christian dialogue in India on the way. Dr. J.A. Cuttat, son of a wealthy Swiss banker, had been professor of philosophy at the Sorbonne before being called to serve as Ambassador of Switzerland to India. His appointment had much to do with his own interests. He had been an avid student of Indian thought for many years and quickly established a personal friendship with Jawaharlal Nehru and, to a lesser degree, with Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. As he …

Viewpoints: The Ongoing Dialogue, Raimundo Panikkar
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
Dialogue is more than a flippant or merely well-intentioned conversation. And the Hindu Christian Dialogue, in the present state of affairs, demands both a deep experience of one's own tradition and a sufficient knowledge of the other one. We do not begin anew. This dialogue is not of yesterday. It requires a certain knowledge of what has already happened. The history of this Encounter has a loaded karma.

Viewpoints: Why Dialogue With Hindus?, Gladys Ambat
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
The Christians of India like the Christians all over the world are a minority amidst "the nations" or peoples other than Christians. Christians in India have the unique privilege of living with a very God conscious people -- the Hindus. One cannot help but admire the simple piety of the millions who recently went for a holy dip to Varanasi. The faith, the sincerity and the utter devotion of the devotees are often beyond the understanding of those who believe that a true devotee should express his faith differently, the way Jesus said, "God is a spirit and they that …

The Scope Of Dialogue, Anand Amaladass
The Scope Of Dialogue, Anand Amaladass
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
India has been the land of intense curiosity for others for many centuries and continues to be so. One can trace the history of relationship between India and the outside world as a fruitful study to gain some insight into the Indian attitude towards outsiders. In the first issue of this Bulletin the editor presented a succinct survey of dialogical movements in Indian History. Obviously in a brief essay of this type one cannot expect a comprehensive report covering all the historical events and persons who have contributed to the dialogical movements between the Hindu and the Christian world. In …
The Prospect For Hindu-Christian Interaction, Margaret Chatterjee
The Prospect For Hindu-Christian Interaction, Margaret Chatterjee
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
I take as a starting point the last sentence of the Editorial in Vol. I of the new Bulletin: "With a few notable exceptions...contemporary Hindu thinkers do not seem to be engaged with Christianity in the way their predecessors were at the turn of the century (e.g. Roy, Sen, Dayananda and Radhakrishnan)". This is a very insightful observation and it is worth dwelling on. Let us begin from the "Christian side" first. What considerations are encouraging some Christians to "take an interest" in Hinduism. Listing some of these may be convenient although probably too schematic, for combinations of the following …

Viewpoints: The Value Of Inter-Faith Dialogue, L. Sundaram
Viewpoints: The Value Of Inter-Faith Dialogue, L. Sundaram
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
The purpose of inter-faith dialogue is evidently not to arrive at or achieve a common set of beliefs giving up for the sake of unity one's own religion's cherished doctrines. Its aim is not to accomplish a merger, as of two political parties or groups, nor to arrive at the lowest measure of agreement in religious beliefs. If the participants in a dialogue are only "light half-believers in a casual creed who never deeply loved or deeply felt" their dialogue will remain at only a superficial level. The paradox therefore in such meetings is that those who dialogue must be …
