Download or read book Hinduism as a Missionary Religion written by Arvind Sharma and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-01-02 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 non-missionary category. In this intriguing book, Arvind Sharma re-opens the question. Examining the historical evidence from the major Hindu eras, the Vedic, classical, medieval, and modern periods, Sharma's 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, Sharma's work provides us with new insights both on Hinduism and the consideration of religion itself.

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.

Download or read book Hindu Mission Christian Mission written by Reid B. Locklin and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some four hundred years, Hindus and Christians have been engaged in a public controversy about conversion and missionary proselytization, especially in India and the Hindu diaspora. Hindu Mission, Christian Mission reframes this controversy by shifting attention from "conversion" to a wider, interreligious study of "mission" as a category of thought and practice. Comparative theologian Reid B. Locklin traces the emergence of the nondualist Hindu teaching of Advaita Vedānta as a missionary tradition, from the eighth century to the present day, and draws this tradition into dialogue with contemporary proposals in Christian missiology. As a descriptive study of the Chinmaya Mission, the Ramakrishna Mission, and other leading Advaita mission movements, Hindu Mission, Christian Mission contributes to a growing body of scholarship on transnational Hinduism. As a speculative work of Christian comparative theology, it develops key themes from this engagement for a new, interreligious theology of mission and conversion for the twenty-first century and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hinduism Ancient and Modern: Viewed in the Light of the Incarnation The World Missionary Conference, held at Edinburgh, was not only an inspiring experience of a lifetime to those who had the privilege of taking part in it, but it was an outward symbol of an awakened zeal and of a new spirit of union, which was catholic both in its scope and character (at least one eminent Roman Catholic Prelate expressed his sympathy with the objects of the Conference) such as would not have been possible at any previous period in the history of Christendom. One important lesson of the Conference was the need of a more extensive study of missionary problems on the part of those interested in the extension of Christ's kingdom. If this need is to be met, an increase of our missionary literature must take place, and the literature which already exists must be revised in the light of the increasing knowledge of the missionaries who are engaged in the work abroad.

Download or read book Majority World Perspectives on Christian Mission written by Nico A. Botha and published by UJ Press. This book was released on 2022-05-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It affords us real pleasure to present this editorial on behalf of the Majority World Christian Leaders Conversation (MWCLC). The MWCLC started slowly, but surely since 2016, following a groundbreaking conversation among eleven mission practitioners from the Majority World who met in the United Kingdom somewhere between London and Oxford. At the meeting, several themes emerged under the banner of missionary questions and impulses of the Majority World, from the perspective of the reign of God. These themes and more find reflection in the book. However, before proceeding to the content of the anthology, a note on the concept “Majority World” seems necessary. The time where terms like “Third World” gained strong currency, is long since gone. The term “Majority World” is a new kid on the block and requires some clarification. The use of the term is a strategy of avoiding concepts like “Developing” or “Third World” or even “Global South” which are pejorative in a real sense. To speak of the Majority World is geographically accurate in that Africa, Asia and Latin America are included.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John P. Jones' "India's Problem, Krishna or Christ" is an interesting look at the multiculturalism of India during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. At a time when English colonialism aimed to impart Christianity on the people of India, Hinduism faced the threat of disappearing. When many Indians might have felt torn between which faith to follow, Jones describes such a conflict that is important to read for a better understanding of this tense time in history.

It recognizes that the center of Christian influence numerically and theologically is shifting southward to Africa, Latin America, and Asia. It affirms the reality that wherever the gospel goes, it takes root in the local culture.
