Singing Of Satnam: Blind Simon Patros, "Dalit" Religious Identity, And "Satnami"-Christian Music In Chhattisgarh, India, Chad M. Bauman Jan 2006

Singing Of Satnam: Blind Simon Patros, "Dalit" Religious Identity, And "Satnami"-Christian Music In Chhattisgarh, India, Chad M. Bauman

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

Christianity in every context -- whether western or nonwestern, contemporary or ancient -- emerges as a composite entity, combining elements of the religions and cultures that predate it with aspects of the Christian faith, in whatever form it arrives. There is, of course, nothing distinctly Christian about this process, for just as the expansion of Christianity into India involved the Indianization of Christianity, so too did the growth of Hinduism in Bali entail the Balinization of Hinduism. Other religions follow a similar pattern when they cross cultural boundaries.


Embodying "Bhakti Rasa" In Bharata Natyam: An Indian-Christian Interpretation Of "Gayatri" Mantra Through Dance, Katherine C. Zubko Jan 2006

Embodying "Bhakti Rasa" In Bharata Natyam: An Indian-Christian Interpretation Of "Gayatri" Mantra Through Dance, Katherine C. Zubko

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

As the five female dancers from the Indian-Christian fine art college of Kalai Kaviri encircle the South Indian brass lamp, or vilakku, awakening it to life with the flames from their own individual votives, the beginning melody of a song cues the women to stretch out their arms in preparation to rise from their seated positions and dance. As they raise their arms in unison, the light glinting off their bangles and gold threaded costumes, the Sanskrit words Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah signal the invocatory phrase of the popular Gayatri mantra chanted daily by many Hindus all over the …


Viewpoint: Dialogues Within Dialogue And Conversations Barely Begun, Corinne Dempsey Jan 2006

Viewpoint: Dialogues Within Dialogue And Conversations Barely Begun, Corinne Dempsey

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

My interest in Hindu-Christian studies stems from adventures with two religious traditions that are, in a manner of speaking, "out of place": popular Christian practice in a predominantly Hindu south Indian setting and a Hindu temple within the Christian context of rural upstate New York. In some ways these two Hindu-Christian settings could not be more different. The Kerala Christians with whom I worked claim an ancient and lofty heritage while the upstate New York temple, established in 1998 in a refurbished barn and led by a maverick guru, represents a definitive break from orthopraxy.

The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Terryl Givens Jan 2006

The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints, Terryl Givens

English Faculty Publications

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon or LDS church, constitute an organization that transcends simple denominational status. Though the Mormons were originally one of a multitude of restorationist churches emerging out of the ferment known as the Second Great Awakening in the early nineteenth century, a number of factors conspired to forge an entity variously considered a religion, a people, a global tribe, and a New Religious Movement (NRM), the only "indigenously derived ethnic group" in the United States and an emerging world religion. Mormonism's distinctive doctrines challenge the boundaries of …


Mormons, Terryl Givens Jan 2006

Mormons, Terryl Givens

English Faculty Publications

Mormonism was one of many religious movements that emerged in antebellum American during the ferment known as the Second Great Awakening. In 1820 a youthful Joseph Smith (1805-1844) told his family and skeptical neighbors that he had been visited by Jesus Christ in response to his prayerful request for guidance in choosing a true religion. All Christian denominations had gone astray, the personage told him. Smith created little subsequent stir on the religious stage until ten years later, when he produced the Book of Mormon, a lengthy narrative purportedly written by ancient American prophets of Israelite origins and revealed to …
