Synopsis

Asia's Message to Europe calls for a compassionate, worldwide faith that transcends old divides. A passionate speaker urges readers to see Asia’s sorrows and strengths as a plea for justice, understanding, and reform across cultures and churches. This edition presents a bold vision of faith as living, global harmony rather than of rivalry or conquest.

From the opening appeal to Europe to the call for a universal church, the text frames a mission to unite diverse creeds around shared values. It argues that true Christianity embraces all noble truths found in other faiths, and it envisions a central Christ-led fellowship that dissolves sectarian barriers while preserving core beliefs. The author also grounds faith in daily experience, science, and a personal sense of God present in nature and history.

• A vision of a Broad Church that welcomes Catholic and Protestant, Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, and others into one spiritual community


• A critique of sectarianism as an outdated habit of mind, with practical steps toward universal fellowship


• Christ-centered unity that preserves core Christian identity while honoring other faiths


• Faith that links science, nature, and lived religion into a single, everyday experience of the divine

Ideal for readers exploring interfaith dialogue, religious reform, and 19th‑century debates about East–West exchange and the future of Christianity.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Decalogue is mine, saith Asia. Mine too is the mountain on which Christ Jesus preached his famous sermon. Mine also are the Himalayas on which Aryan devotees lost themselves in contemplation. Mine likewise is the memorable Bo tree under whose shade the great Buddha attained final beatitude. Sinai is mine, saith Asia, and the Jordan is mine, and the sacred Ganges is mine. The Vedas and the Bible are mine, the cross and the crescent are mine. Verily, verily there is infinite diversity in Asia screeds, and her catholicity is immeasurably vast. How then can I, as an Asiatic, standing upon Asiatic ground, and with Asiatic blood coursing through my veins, prove disloyal to such wide catholicity, the birthright and glory of my race? Surely I would be a traitor to my nationality if I did not assume a thoroughly catholic attitude. Can I be a sectarian? As a Bengalee I might; as an Indian I might; but as an Asiatic I cannot, I dare not be a sectarian. There are around me so many master minds that demand mj reverential allegiance, so many types and aspects of faith and character which claim my sympathy, that I must take a broad and eclectic position, and disclaim even the semblance of narrow sectarianism. Europe, I charge thee ta be unsectarian. Asias first message to Western nations is, Put the sword of sectarianism adroitly into the sheath. Let there be no more sectarianism. Europe is bound to be unsectarian. For what is sectarianism? It is carnality. IW hereas there is among you envying and strife and divisions are ye not carnal and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul and another I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Sectarianism indeed is carnality. It is an abomination in the sight of the Lord. It is made up of envy, jealousy, pride, anger, resentment and vindictiveness. It excites and inflames the worst passions of the heart, It makes a brotherst
