The Future of Hindu–Christian Studies

Based on the Westcott¿Teape Lectures given in India and at the University of Cambridge, this book explores the possibilities and problems attendant upon the field of HindüChristian Studies, the reasons for occasional flourishing and decline in such studies, and the fragile conditions under which the field can flourish in the 21st century. The chapters examine key instances of Christian¿Hindu learning, highlighting the Jesuit engagement with Hinduism, the modern Hindu reception of Western thought, and certain advances in the study of religion that enhance intellectual cooperation.
