Book Synopsis Hinduism as a Missionary Religion by : Arvind Sharma
Download or read book Hinduism as a Missionary Religion written by Arvind Sharma and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reconsiders whether Hinduism can be considered a missionary religion. Is Hinduism a missionary religion? Merely posing this question is a novel and provocative act. Popular and scholarly perception, both ancient and modern, puts Hinduism in the nonmissionary category. In this intriguing book, Arvind Sharma reopens the question. Examining the historical evidence from the major Hindu eras, the Vedic, classical, medieval, and modern periods, Sharmas investigation challenges the categories used in current scholarly discourse and finds them inadequate, emphasizing the need to distinguish between a missionary religion and a proselytizing one. A distinction rarely made, it is nevertheless an illuminating and fruitful one that resonates with insights from the comparative study of religion. Ultimately concluding that Hinduism is a missionary religion, but not a proselytizing one, Sharmas work provides us with insights both about Hinduism and about religion in general. Sharma is a prolific author who has made significant contributions to Hindu studies Readers will gain insight from Sharmas careful inquiry. CHOICE

Book Synopsis Hinduism for Missionaries by : C. Tom
Download or read book Hinduism for Missionaries written by C. Tom and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-14 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian missionaries from the West have been flocking to India with great hope and try to popularize Christianity in that country. They collect billions of dollars from middleclass and poor Christians of western countries and spend those billions building schools and hospitals and orphanages and Universities in India. They have been doing this for centuries. So far they have not produced any tangible results. India has a small community of Christians (2% of the population) mainly in the southern state of Kerala. Christianity was brought there by St. Thomas, one of the disciples of Jesus, in 52 AD. He baptized and converted three royal families into Christianity. Over the last 2000 years, their children have grown into millions. They form the current he Christian community and it has remained at 2% of the population in spite of intense efforts by Christian missionaries over centuries. They do not understand why all their efforts have failed. To understand why missionary efforts fail in India, one has to understand the culture. This book explains the culture of India or Hinduism for prospective Missionaries.
Book Synopsis The First Hindu Mission to America by : Sunrit Mullick
Download or read book The First Hindu Mission to America written by Sunrit Mullick and published by Northern Book Centre. This book was released on 2010 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book positions Brahmo Samaj leader Protap Chunder Mozoomdar as the originator of the Hindu mission movement to the United States of America in the late 19th century. It is known that Protap Mozoomdar, together with Swami Vivekananda, represented Hinduism at the Parliament of Religions at Chicago in 1893. But what has missed the focus of scholars is that Mozoomdar visited the United States ten years earlier in 1883, making him the pioneer of the Hindu mission movement to the United States. The book is the first detailed study of Protap Chunder Mozoomdar in America. It is written through primary research on American newspapers, periodicals, manuscripts, diaries and archival material available in American libraries, and material in possession of the author. On the whole, the book presents new information of interest to both the general reader and the scholarly community.

Book Synopsis Disciple Making among Hindus by : Timothy Shultz
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.
