Comparative Theology, Comparative Religion, And Hindu-Christian Studies: Ethnography As Method, Kristin Bloomer
Comparative Theology, Comparative Religion, And Hindu-Christian Studies: Ethnography As Method, Kristin Bloomer
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
Concerns that likely inspired today's panel can be traced textually to the beginnings of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and to the earliest writings of what we now call Hinduism. In the field of Hindu-Christian studies, these concerns suggest ethnographic approaches that are not in themselves new, but which borrow in potentially new ways from the methodological tool-boxes of anthropology, theology and the history of religions.
Methodological Approaches To Hindu-Christian Studies: Some Thoughts, T.S. Rukmani
Methodological Approaches To Hindu-Christian Studies: Some Thoughts, T.S. Rukmani
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
I was surprised that any one would want me to be a respondent for a panel which was primarily concerned with methodological approaches to Hindu-Christian Studies, my interest being mainly philosophical Sanskrit texts. However as a Hindu and having lived in India for most of my adult life I was interested to learn more about the way academics deal with this issue, which really is one that is fraught with many complications. Harold Coward, who gave a retrospect of the Society at the beginning of the session, did indeed give me a glimpse of the topics and methodology followed in …
Being Catholic The Tamil Way: Assimilation And Differentiation, Selva J. Raj
Being Catholic The Tamil Way: Assimilation And Differentiation, Selva J. Raj
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
The ritual life of Tamil Catholics in south India defies tidy, conventional categories like assimilation, differentiation, and othering, since the complex negotiations characteristic of this lived tradition often involve both assimilation and differentiation. This dynamic reflects/reveals their hybrid and liminal cultural and religious condition where boundaries are not fixed or absolute, but constantly fluid, permeable, and negotiable. While this pattern is manifest almost in all spheres of Tamil Catholic life and practice, in this paper I focus on how lay Catholics configure and maintain their "tamilness" in the realms of devotional music, caste discourse, and public devotional rituals with relevant …

Can Christians Be Bhaktas? A Sanskritic View From Central India, C. 1850, Richard Fox Young
Can Christians Be Bhaktas? A Sanskritic View From Central India, C. 1850, Richard Fox Young
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
My essay focuses on an undeservedly obscure individual, Somanath Vyas, whose name hardly registers among South Asia scholars. Recently, however, Somanath's writings have elicited interest among Sanskritists in Central India where he lived. Of these, I focus on the Kalandikaprakasa, composed between 1847 and 1850. A major treatise in wissenschaftliches and Sanskrit, it discusses knowledge, scientific and religious, that the author, a traditionally-educated Hindu pandit, deemed worthy of knowing. Importantly, this knowledge included a knowledge of Christianity. For an era rife with interreligious polemics, to advocate on behalf of Christianity as a religion worth knowing in relation to its …

Orthodox reflection on modern legalism began in Russia, not because the Russians were better prepared to think about law than the other Orthodox peoples, but because Russia was the first Orthodox country to attempt to remake itself into a state and society of the modern type.
Was Jesus Illegitimate? The Evidence Of His Social Interactions, James F. Mcgrath
Was Jesus Illegitimate? The Evidence Of His Social Interactions, James F. Mcgrath
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
This article examines the social status of the historical Jesus in relation to recent studies that place Jesus into the social category of an illegitimate child. After surveying the evidence with respect to the situation of such individuals in first century Mediterranean and Jewish society, we shall proceed to examine whether Jesus' implied social status (as evidenced by accounts of his adult social interactions) coheres with what one would expect in the case of someone who bore the stigma of that status. Our study suggests that the scandal caused by Jesus' association with the marginalized clearly implies that he did …

Artificial Minds And Human Religions: An Illustration Of The Diversity Of Possible Intersections Between Religious Thought And Practice And Technological Advances, James F. Mcgrath
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
A survey of recent science-fiction would show that the theme of this paper -artificial minds and human religions -is one that is of significant interest in our time... Furthermore, science-fiction provides an opportunity to explore future possibilities, and exploring where technology might take us and how religious traditions might respond seems more advisable than waiting until developments actually occur, and then scrambling to respond.

Knowledge And Love Of God In Ramanuja And Aquinas, Martin Ganeri
Knowledge And Love Of God In Ramanuja And Aquinas, Martin Ganeri
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
A major characteristic of Catholic Christian intellectual encounter with Hinduism in the 20th century is the meeting of Thomism and the Vedanta. Thomism is the tradition of Christian thought which is based on the work of the scholastic and Dominican friar, Thomas Aquinas and which was the norm for Catholic theological formation for most of the 20th century. A central concern in this encounter was to explore ways in which Vedanta could be used to express the Thomist Christian account in Hindu terms.
Love Of God And Unity Of Wisdom In Plato And Leibniz, Tinu Ruparell
Love Of God And Unity Of Wisdom In Plato And Leibniz, Tinu Ruparell
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
In what follows I wish to consider the following question, the relevance of which should be fairly obvious for a discussion on the love of God: does love flow from wisdom or wisdom flow from love? The question is at the heart of much Christian reflection on the nature of the love of God and how it is to be known.
A Woman's Kind Of Love: Female Longing In The Tamil Alvar Poetry, Archana Venkatesan
A Woman's Kind Of Love: Female Longing In The Tamil Alvar Poetry, Archana Venkatesan
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
In the eighth section of Andal's Nacciyar Tirumoli, a woman calls to the clouds and bids them to take a message of love to her delinquent lover, Vishnu, here figured as the lord of Venkatam. In the opening verse of the decad, she begins by plaintively questioning the clouds of her beloved's whereabouts only to end with a bitter complaint about her sullied womanhood -- pen-nirmai. Bracketed by her eager questions -- "has the lord of Venkatam come with you" -- and her bitter complaint -- "how does this bring him pride" -- is the landscape of her …

Forgiveness: Hindu And Western Perspectives, Alan Hunter
Forgiveness: Hindu And Western Perspectives, Alan Hunter
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
This paper compares Hindu and Christian beliefs on forgiveness: it argues that forgiveness is an important element within the Hindu religious world-view, even if less explicitly so than within the Christian tradition. Before the late 1980s, discussion of forgiveness in the West was for the most part confined to Christian communities, seldom reaching mainstream publications in other areas. The situation has now changed dramatically. Since the 1990s, scholars from different disciplines have written dozens of books and journal articles on forgiveness, which also featured in numerous popular essays, exhibitions, websites, and other media. There are four major areas for forgiveness …
