Seeing The Unseen: Bridging Realities Of Experience Through Dependent Origination, Shubham Sapkota
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Overall, this project looks into the problem and history of colonialism, the impact of it on the people and knowledge coming from South Asia, and offers an alternate view to understand our world.

These identities, Indian and Catholic, are not in tension with one another, but instead, …
Theology Of Arcavatara And The Eucharist: A Comparative Study, James Adeoye
Theology Of Arcavatara And The Eucharist: A Comparative Study, James Adeoye
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The diversity in the world today is undeniable and quite imposing. The claim to uniqueness and universality of faith in each religious system cannot be sustained without factoring the implications and impacts of this claim on the well-being of humanity and reality hermeneutics. The postmodern world favors pluralism and encourages mutual respect for particular opinion, praxis, faith, theology and all forms of epistemology as they exist in the individual culture, religion and society. With this in mind, this work is a comparative analysis of the notion of avatars in Vaishnavism, a religious sect in Hinduism and the concept of the …
