DOWNLOAD EBOOKHeathen, Hindoo, Hindu is a groundbreaking analysis of American representations of religion in India before the turn of the twentieth century. Before Americans wrote about "Hinduism," they wrote about "heathenism," "the religion of the Hindoos," and "Brahmanism." Americans used the heathen, Hindoo, and Hindu as an other against which they represented themselves. The questions of American identity, classification, representation and the definition of "religion" that animated descriptions of heathens, Hindoos, and Hindus in the past still animate American debates today.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Presentation of Christianity to Hindus: The Report of a Committee Appointed by the Board of Missionary Preparation This report seeks to avoid the repetition of details already given in the Report on the Special Preparation Needed for Missionaries appointed to India, issued in 1915 by the Board of Missionary Preparation in its Fourth Annual Report and published separately the next year. The two reports supple ment each other and should be studied together. Two other reports should also be referred to in this connection, namely, that upon Preparation for Missionaries Appointed to Work among Animists and that upon Preparation for Mission aries Appointed to Work among Moslems. Even though India contains millions of Moslems and though animism is almost universally a prominent characteristic of Hinduism, it has been deemed best not to encroach unnecessarily upon the Sphere of these reports. Each should be studied by one preparing for missionary work in India. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn late 20th-century India, Christian-Hindu dialogue was forever transformed following the opening of Shantivanam, the first Christian ashram in the country. Mario I. Aguilar brings together the histories of the five pioneers of Christian-Hindu dialogue and their involvement with the ashram, to explore what they learnt and taught about communion between the two religions, and the wide ranging consequences of their work. The author expertly threads together the lives and friendships between these men, while uncovering the Hindu texts they used and were influenced by, and considers how far some of them became, in their personal practice, Hindu. Ultimately, this book demonstrates the impact of this history on contemporary dialogue between Christians and Hindus, and how both faiths can continue to learn and grow together.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWe live in an era of unprecedented growth in knowledge. Never before has there been so great an availability of and access to information in both print and online. Yet as opportunities to educate ourselves have greatly increased, our time for reading has significantly diminished. And when we do read, we rarely have the patience to read in the slow, sustained fashion that great books require if we are to be truly transformed by them. In Reading the Hindu and Christian Classics, renowned Harvard Divinity School professor Francis Clooney argues that our increasing inability to read in a concerted manner is particularly notable in the realm of religion, where the proliferation of information detracts from the learning of practices that require slow and patient reading. Although awareness of the world’s many religions is at an all-time high, deep knowledge of the various traditions has suffered. Clooney challenges this trend by considering six classic Hindu and Christian texts dealing with ritual and law, catechesis and doctrine, and devotion and religious participation, showing how, in distinctive ways, such texts instruct, teach truth, and draw willing readers to participate in the realities they are learning. Through readings of these seminal scriptural and theological texts, he reveals the rewards of a more spiritually transformative mode of reading—and how individuals and communities can achieve it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis title looks at two of the greatest religions of mankind in terms of their number of adherents: Hinduism, which is largely restricted to India, and Christianity, which has spread worldwide. The contrasts between the two seem on the surface to be vast, but when we look more closely we find that certain themes are of central concern to both. These are the themes this book explores. It demonstrates how they are treated in both religions, showing the diversity of approach within each and how they interrelate. Starting from the most basic issue of the nature of the divine, successive chapters then look at divine interaction with mankind, authority and mediation, devotionalism and personal piety, meditation and asceticism, social values and morality, and meaning and ends. The final chapter surveys the history of contact and dialogue between the two religions from as early as the third century AD up to the present. This fascinating subject matter is handled in a manner that serves to highlight the rich variety of both traditions and provides an accurate, yet readable, account of the material. The approach is basically scholarly but not purely academic: attention is paid both to the history of the two religions and to their current positions and practice. The presentation is consistent and clear, ensuring that the book will be of real interest to a wide readership.
