Hinduism and Christianity.

A selection of themes from the two religions are chosen to highlight the central concerns of Christianity and Hinduism while not neglecting their internal diversity.

A balance is maintained between doctrine and practice, in order to compare like with like.

The themes addressed are the nature of the divine, divine interaction with mankind, authority and mediation, devotionalism and personal piety, meditation and asceticism, social values and morality, and teleology.

The final chapter outlines the history of contact and dialogue between the two religions.

Although the treatment is thematic, the process of historical development is given due attention.
