Heirarchies In The Nature Of God? Questioning The "Saguna-Nirguna" Distinction In Advaita Vedanta, Anantanand Rambachan
Heirarchies In The Nature Of God? Questioning The "Saguna-Nirguna" Distinction In Advaita Vedanta, Anantanand Rambachan
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
The Advaita tradition has not merely been the focus of my scholarly work; my personal world-view has been shaped by its insights and I continue to be deeply influenced by its understanding of human existence. One cannot, however, ignore the challenges of claims which are different from one's own and my encounter with other Hindu traditions and other religions has led to a re-evaluation of many aspects of my Advaita heritage. I have chosen, in what follows, to reflect on how my original understanding is being transformed by encounters with other traditions by focusing on the Advaita representation of brahman …
Retrospective: The Birthing Of A Discipline, William Cenkner
Retrospective: The Birthing Of A Discipline, William Cenkner
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
It is not clear whether Hindu-Christian study is a new enterprise or something that has been in progress for some years. My four decade experience has confronted a set of problems clouding any self-identity. First is the problem of naming. My own preference has always been the written text and my training, likewise, has been textual. In fact every course in graduate school was the study of a particular Indian text, whether Hindu or Buddhist. That's what Indology was about in those years. We were wary of comparative religions done in Europe and further saw religionswisenchaft as generalist and even …
Hindu Bioethics For The Twenty-First Century, S. Cromwell Crawford
Hindu Bioethics For The Twenty-First Century, S. Cromwell Crawford
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
In his Cross Cultural Perspectives in Medical Ethics: Readings, Robert Veatch observes, "The religions of Judaism and Christianity and the secular thought of the political philosophy of liberalism in the Anglo-American West are not the only alternatives to a Hippocratic medical ethic." In fact, the new pluralistic approach to world cultures is introducing us to several religious and philosophical alternatives from outside the Anglo-American West. Just as alternative medicine is becoming recognized and respected, and is being incorporated into mainstream medicine, there is a growing admission that the ethical problems we face today have dimensions that are not adequately …

Solov'Ëv And Schelling's Philosophy Of Revelation, Paul Valliere
Solov'Ëv And Schelling's Philosophy Of Revelation, Paul Valliere
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
The connection between Solov'ëv's philosophy of religion and Schelling's has long been recognized but is difficult to clarify for two reasons. The first is Solov'ëv's nonchalance about citing sources. The paucity of direct references to Schelling in the work of a philosopher who has been called 'the last and most outstanding Russian Schellingian' is quite astonishing. The second reason is the ambivalence toward Schelling in Russian religious philosophy.

Guest Editor's Introduction: Hindu And Christian Mutual Misperceptions, M. Thomas Thangaraj
Guest Editor's Introduction: Hindu And Christian Mutual Misperceptions, M. Thomas Thangaraj
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
The "other" remains as a mystery and puzzle before one comes to know the "other" in a personal and intimate manner. especially when the "other" is the "religious" other, it is much more puzzling and mysterious. The history of the encounter between Hindus and Christians over several centuries reveals how the "puzzle" and the "mystery" of the other can at times lead to gross misperceptions of the other. Such mutual misperceptions have been some of the stumbling blocks in the path of a healthy, friendly, and mutually enhancing relation between Christians and Hindus. In this issue of the Bulletin, we …
Reverend William Ward And His Legacy For Christian (Mis)Perception Of Hinduism, Brian K. Pennington
Reverend William Ward And His Legacy For Christian (Mis)Perception Of Hinduism, Brian K. Pennington
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
My assignment for this thematic issue of the Hindu-Christian Studies Bulletin is to address Christian misperceptions of Hinduism, which I shall do by evaluating the work and legacy of William Ward of Serampore, missionary to Bengal, and author on Hinduism in the early nineteenth century. First, however, I would like to make three preliminary observations about the idea of "Christian misperception".
Conversion And The Courts, Ronald Neufeldt
Conversion And The Courts, Ronald Neufeldt
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
Conversion from one religion to another has been a thorny issue throughout the history of the Indian subcontinent. Recently the controversy over conversion has received new life, given a number of events which in effect resulted in a great deal of debate over the place of Christians within the State of India. Perhaps the two most recent controversial events were the gruesome murder of Rev. Staines and his two children in orissa and the visit of the Pope to India.
Hindu Occidentalism, Tinu Ruparell
Hindu Occidentalism, Tinu Ruparell
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
On a research trip through India one of my goals was to talk to Hindu scholars about their views of Christianity and in particular Hindu-Christian dialogue. Though I visited numerous Universities, Colleges, and maths, I found very few Hindus who took any interest at all in the doctrinal conversation between religions then characteristic of interreligious dialogue. Time and again I was told by these distinguished and erudite academics that they were not interested in Hindu-Christian dialogue. While this may have been due to a failure on my part to ask the right sorts of questions, or simply my bad …
Viewpoint: Christian-Hindu Prayer In Interreligoius Dialogue, Anand Nayak
Viewpoint: Christian-Hindu Prayer In Interreligoius Dialogue, Anand Nayak
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
The interreligious dialogue encounters have always given an important place to common prayer in their programs. Prayer-meetings are organized to celebrate feasts and other significant events in life. The Christian ashrams too have made interreligious prayer the heart of their monastic life. Several prayer-books have now appeared, with prayers collected from different religions, for interreligious prayer meetings. The splendid picture of Pope John-Paul II praying with the Dalai Lama and with other representatives of religions at the Assisi Meeting of 1986 has become a classical symbol of interreligious prayer.

Is Jesus A Hindu? S.C. Vasu And Multiple Madhva Misrepresentations, Deepak Sarma
Is Jesus A Hindu? S.C. Vasu And Multiple Madhva Misrepresentations, Deepak Sarma
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies
Misperceptions and misrepresentations are frequently linked to complicated dynamics between those who are misperceived and those who do the misperceiving. Oftentimes such dynamics are manifestations of underlying social, political, or, in the cases described in this issue of the Hindu-Christian Studies Bulletin, religious differences. The Hindu and the Christian traditions share a long history of mutual misrepresentations and misperceptions. Many of the authors in this issue of the Bulletin may offer detailed analyses of such misperceptions as they have been described by virtuoso Hindu thinkers such as Ram Mohan Roy, Gandhi-ji, and, in more recent times, BJP activists. In …
