Download or read book Christian Ashrams, Hindu Caves and Sacred Rivers written by Mario I. Aguilar and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 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 or read book A Hindu Church And An Indian Christ written by George Alexander and published by . This book was released on 2022-04-25 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprises reflections on the indigenous Malankara Church and its faithful, the Hindu Nasranis, a caste-based community in India. The book discusses the identity crisis encountered by the present-day Nasranis, and how they are bound to carry the 'Syrian' tagline, a foreign identity over their shoulders. It is categorically stated that Malankara Nasranis of India are not 'Syrian Christians' rather they are wrongly addressed in that way. The book urges Nasranis to emerge from the Syrian/Latin/foreign identities that have been imposed on them as a result of Christian colonialism. Most importantly the book depicts the cultural, religious and social relations between Nasranis and Hindus and explains how they are different from the rest of the Christians. The book also reminds us that Malankara Church is not a by-product of European missionary evangelism, but a socio-religious institution that originated in India. It emphasizes the importance of the Judeo-Dravidian and Bhartiya identity of Malankara Nasrani which has been overlooked as a result of foreign influences. This thesis also showcases local age-old Nasrani cultural practices, traditions and the changes that took place over the centuries as a result of colonial Christian domination. It calls on everyone to have a better and wider understanding of the Malankara Church, which is a native community of India and not to confuse it as a mere 'Christian Sect'. The book also debates contemporary socio-political and religious scenarios and boldly exposes various issues about the Malankara Church leadership.

Download or read book Jesus as Guru written by Jan Peter Schouten and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2008 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People in India form images of Jesus Christ that link up with their own culture. Hindus have given Jesus a place among the teachers and gods of their own religion, seeing in his life something of the wisdom and mysticism that is so central to Hinduism. Christians in India also make use of the concepts provided by Hinduism when they wish to express the meaning of Christ. Thus, in any case, Jesus is--for Hindus and Christians--a guru, a teacher of wisdom who speaks with divine authority. But for many Hindu philosophers and Christian theologians there is much more that can be said about him within the Indian framework. He can be described as an avatara, a divine descent, or linked to the Brahman, the all-encompassing Reality. This study looks at both Hindu and Christian views of Christ, starting with that of the Hindu reformer Rammohan Roy at the beginning of the nineteenth century, as well as those of the first Christian theologians of India. The views of Mahatma Gandhi and the monks of the Ramakrishna Mission are discussed, and those of influential Christian schools such as the Ashram movement and dalit theology. Five intermezzos indicate how artists in India portray Jesus Christ.

Download or read book Disciple Making among Hindus written by Timothy Shultz and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on thirty years’ experience among Hindus, Timothy Shultz writes this book as a testimony of the kingdom of God growing in a non-Christian environment. Disciple Making among Hindus: Making Authentic Relationships Grow describes how Hindu people experience and respond to Jesus Christ. What are the core values and rhythms of their cultural world? What are the patterns of community and discipleship that help them draw closer to Jesus? Through moving personal stories, biblical reflection, and practical wisdom, Shultz introduces us to the centrality of family, the covenantal relationships that make up Hindu social life, and the yearning for authentic spiritual experience. While this book will benefit anyone wanting to make disciples among Hindus, it is far more than a strategy of contextualization or a blueprint for successful evangelism. Read it to discover the beauty of Hindus as Jesus sees them—and the beauty of Jesus through Hindu eyes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “But indeed, as I live, all the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord” Numbers 14:21 (NASB). Author Cescilio Chavez has always believed in Jesus, the Son of God. After teaching for 23 years, receiving two masters and his Ph.D., Cescilio still feels empty. There is something missing. Does the genesis of Cescilio’s sense of emptiness stem from his religious beliefs? He ventured to learn more about life and Christianity, so he entered seminary at age 52. After studying other religions and other gods in World Religions class, he questions whether Jesus is himself a “universal” God. What about the other many gods that exists in the world? Where are they in relation to Jesus and where is Jesus among them? Between his desire to learn more about his faith and his aspiration to learn about other religions, Cescilio is afforded a fateful opportunity to search for his God in India. Through Cescilio’s eyes, you will take a journey into India. Each chapter of A Christian in India takes you deeper into who Jesus is and where God resides, and you will see how Cescilio’s Christian faith grows deeper and stronger.

Download or read book Christian Barriers to Jesus (Revised Edition) written by J. Paul Pennington and published by William Carey Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Call to Follow Jesus When He Challenges Our Traditions There are many challenges to adequately representing Jesus to the majority world, and often Western Christian traditions create unnecessary hindrances to people accepting His truth. This book grew out of many interviews with Indian Jesus-followers—both Christians and Yesu bhaktas—who identified painful stumbling blocks to receiving and sharing the gospel. While Hindus often have a high view of Jesus, they struggle with the conventions, practices, and labels around "church." Christian Barriers to Jesus uniquely challenges readers to examine nine barrier-producing Christian traditions, exploring: • The assumptions Christians may hold about the value, origin, or necessity of their customs • The concerns Hindus commonly raise about traditions that confuse, offend, or alienate them • Teachings from Jesus in Scripture that often question the same ideas or practices Pennington suggests that by not asking deep enough questions about what is essential for following Jesus and what is a non-essential human invention, the church is unnecessarily alienating millions of people from Him. As a body, it is time to honestly address these concerns, developing new patterns of discipleship that reveal Jesus’s heart for breaking down barriers instead of creating them. The analysis presented in this book will empower readers to critically examine their personally cherished traditions and the purity of the gospel they present, with insights that are relevant in all contexts.

Book excerpt: His Unknown Life Before And After The Crucifixion.

While There He Studied Buddhism, Adopting Its Tenets And Becoming A Spiritual Master. Jesus Survived The Crucifixion. After The Resurrection Jesus Returned To India To Die In Old Age. Jesus Was Buried In Srinagar, The Capital Of Jammu And Kashmir, Where He Continues To Be Revered As A Saintly Man. The Tomb Of Jesus Still Exists In Kashmir.
