The Dilemma Of Diversity And The Boon Of Understanding, John B. Carman Jan 1994

The Dilemma Of Diversity And The Boon Of Understanding, John B. Carman

The Dalits, Religions And Interfaith Dialogue, A.M. Abraham Ayrookuzhiel Jan 1994

The Dalits, Religions And Interfaith Dialogue, A.M. Abraham Ayrookuzhiel

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

The Dalits of India who follow different religious traditions are beginning to come together these days as one people. While their main concern is to fight economic, political and cultural marginalization, what it means to the religions to which they belong is the question raised in this paper. In order to answer this, we should first have an idea of the kind of questions and problems they raise with respect to different religions. Thereafter we can proceed to some of the implications of this process for interfaith understanding and cooperation.

Reflections On Religious Pluralism In The Indian Context, Margaret Chatterjee Jan 1994

Reflections On Religious Pluralism In The Indian Context, Margaret Chatterjee

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Does pluralism in aesthetic and religious judgements necessarily lead to relativism? The writer takes the view that (a) religious pluralism does not only reveal itself in diversity of judgements but in other diversities as well; (b) such diversities suggest relativity rather than relativism. The pluralities invite not aggregation or toleration so much as understanding.


Viewpoint: Religious Fundamentalism And Pluralism In India, David C. Scott Jan 1994

Viewpoint: Religious Fundamentalism And Pluralism In India, David C. Scott

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Much has been written and said in recent months about religious fundamentalism and pluralism in India. However, in order to understand what is currently going on in India with regard to these two phenomena, a third really needs to be brought into the picture -- communalism. Indeed, one could well argue, though I have neither the time nor the space here, that the fundamentalisms of India -- whether Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist, or Christian -- were conceived in communally perceived times of crisis. Basically fundamentalist movements in India are critiques of contemporary ways of life and look to a future, …

Hindu-Christian Dialogue In The Making In Australia, Purushottama Bilimoria Jan 1994

Hindu-Christian Dialogue In The Making In Australia, Purushottama Bilimoria

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

It would not be an exaggeration to say at the outset that Hindu-Christian dialogue is still in its infancy in Australia when compared, for instance, to Buddhist-Christian, Jewish-Christian, Muslim-Christian, and even Muslim-Jewish dialogue. However, there have been some developments in recent times and there is something of a history, albeit discontinuous, of Hindu-Christian encounters in Australia.


Hindu-Christian Studies As A Necessary Luxury In The Context Of Today's Pluralism, Francis Clooney Jan 1994

Hindu-Christian Studies As A Necessary Luxury In The Context Of Today's Pluralism, Francis Clooney

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

During 1992-3 I had the good fortune to live in Madras and spend the year reading both Tiruvaymoli, the Tamil religious classic composed by Satakopan of Kurukur, and also large sections of the early commentaries on it, particularly the great Itu of Nampillai. For the purpose of this study I met regularly with several learned teachers of the Srivaisnava tradition, with one of them for about two hours a day. Though I had studied these texts on and off during the previous ten years, this period of prolonged and intense study immeasurably deepened my knowledge of the texts. The …
