Once again, we hear perspectives that aren’t always highlighted or included in academic discussions here in the US, and provide a place and starting point for rigorous and sustaining conversations. In “Madhvacarya as Prophetic Witness,” Deepak Sarma invites us to consider the founder of the school of Vedantic school of dualism, Madhvācārya, as a prophetic witness. Christhu Doss provides a unique and needed perspective on Christian inculturation in “Uncapping the Springs of Localization: Christian Inculturation in South India in 19th and 20th Centuries.” Eric Hall argues against Masao Abe’s interpretation of the Christian notion of Kenosis in his “Kenosis, Sunyata, and Comportment: Inter- Religious Discourse Beyond Concepts.” Finally, Robert Hunt raises an important consideration of how modernity affects dialogue in “Muslims, Modernity, and the Prospects of Christian-Muslim Dialogue.” In this issue, for the first time, we have invited young religious thinkers from State of Formation to query and dialogue with Hunt’s paper. Their responses both model the best kind of dialogue, and continue the conversation—Karen Leslie Hernandez, Kari Aanestad, Ben DeVan, and Bryan Parys connect Hunt’s scholarship with their own places of experience and formation, bring even new and considered perspectives to Hunt’s

  • The HARVEST FIELD
    The HARVEST FIELD AUGUST, 189 7. ORIGINAL ARTICLES. A PLEASANT EPISODE. THE SNAKE-BITTEN HINDU’S GBATITUDE. BY THE EEV. JACOB CHAMBERLAIN, M.D. A M up on a little mountain in our mission district fifteen miles from Madanapalle. It stands 1,750 feet above the Madanapalle plain, and is, in the hot season, some ten degrees cooler. I have built here a little “ Hermitage” to which I can come for quiet literary work. The brain works more satisfactorily andrapidly with the lower temperature, and with the absence of the continual interruptions, to which the missionary at his own station is perpetually subject. Driving out to the foot of the mountain very early Monday morning, and climbing up the rough crooked path to the summit soon after sunrise, I can have five clear days with my aman­ uensis for my work in helping to prepare Telugu Christian literature for the growing native church, and go down „again Friday evening to have Saturday and Sunday at my station for other duties. Thus I am up here n o w ; but my usual isolation was interrupted one day last week by a very pleasing incident. 282 A PLEASANT EPISODE. I was sitting at my desk writing and glancing out upon the moun­ tain scenery, when, in the wide open doorway, a figure appeared, and looking up, I saw a man from one of our native Christian villages ten miles beyond this, who, with salaams and enquiries for my health, told me that he had come as the escort of a well-to-do high-caste Telugu landholder, who lived in the caste village adjacent to theirs, and who had come up to render his thanks to me for saving his life when he was a lad and had been bitten by a deadly serpent: would I be pleased to give him audience ? He was waiting in the adjoining clump of trees to know whether I could receive him now.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 ABSTRACT Surendranath Banerjea was typical of the 'moderates’ in the Indian National Congress while Lajpat Rai typified the 'extremists'* This thesis seeks to portray critical political biographies of Surendranath Banerjea and of Lajpat Rai within a general comparative study of the moderates and the extremists, in an analysis of political beliefs and modes of political action in the Indian national movement, 1883-1919* It attempts to mirror the attitude of mind of the two nationalist leaders against their respective backgrounds of thought and experience, hence events in Bengal and the Punjab loom larger than in other parts of India* "The Extremists of to-day will be Moderates to-morrow, just as the Moderates of to-day were the Extremists of yesterday.” Bal Gangadhar Tilak, 2 January 190?

  • Two-Eyed Dialogue: Reflections After Fifty Years
    TWO-EYED DIALOGUE Reflections after Fifty Years George Gispert-Sauch IFTY YEARS AGO, MY JESUIT SUPERIOR in Mumbai (Bombay) asked me Fto enrol in the University for a Master’s degree in Sanskrit. His intention was that I should prepare myself for a ministry of intercultural dialogue, to be carried out by a team of Jesuits. Dialogue was not yet a popular word, or at least not a theological word. It was in the time of Pius XII, ten years before Vatican II began, and twelve before Paul VI’s Ecclesiam suam. Early Moves Towards Dialogue The Holy Spirit, however, had for a long time been preparing a new era for a Church conditioned to defensive attitudes by the nineteenth century Syllabus of Errors, and by the anti-modernist crusade a few decades later. Even at the zenith of the colonial enterprise, the meeting of civilizations and religions had given birth to a new attitude towards other cultures among some Christian individuals and small groups.1 In India, at the end of the nineteenth century, a Bengali brahmin converted to Catholicism and proclaimed himself ‘a Hindu by birth and culture, a Catholic by rebirth and faith’. His name was Brahmabandhab Upadhyay.2 This was not altogether an original idea: it had been formulated a couple of decades earlier by his own uncle, the Rev. Kali Charan Banerjee, himself a convert to the Anglican Church. Upadhyay died prematurely as a prisoner, charged with sedition by the British Government in Kolkata (Calcutta). Two years before his death, St Mary’s Theological College in Kuresong, ancestor of what is now the Vidyajyoti Faculty in Delhi, started an ‘Indian Academy’.

    A forum for academic, social, and timely issues affecting religious communities around the world. Uncapping the Springs of Localization: Christian Acculturation in South India in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, by M. Christhu Doss Introduction Identified for its diversified culture and traditions, India witnessed a process of assimilation and synthesis of cultures during the Indian subcontinent’s medieval period. Undoubtedly, however, the advent of British colonialism during the seventeenth century profoundly altered Indian life, culture, and polity. Conquering forces undermined Ancient Indian customs and values, and “Hindu” practices1 were decried as being superstitious. Consequently, the scathing attack on Indian culture and religion generated vehement criticism from English-educated Indian intelligentsia including Ram Mohan Roy, who even claimed that “the British did not want the light of knowledge to dawn on India.”2 The expansion of Christianity in India constitutes one of the most remarkable cultural transformations in its social history. Western missionaries in general and Protestant Christians in particular, who operated within and through the colonial enterprise, criticized Hindu religion in a narrow and dogmatic manner in an attempt to prove it “inferior,” discrediting it in the minds of the Indian intelligentsia.3 Consequently, scholars view the role of Western missionaries in shaping the nature and course of Christianity in India in more abrogative and adverse terms4 as their strategies, which were complex in nature, created tensions and conflicts within indigenous cultures. Christian converts in India very often felt that they were the victims of their cultural background, since missionaries had so much power and control.5 As a result, both Hindu and Christian nationalists and liberal-minded intelligentsia attempted to develop counteractive strategies to “Indianize” Christianity.
