Synopsis

Language: - English, About The Book: This book "An Essay Towards the Conversion of Learned and Philosophical Hindus" is written in the form of a dialogue and deals with the conflicting views of pantheistic Hinduism and Christianity. While a systematic treatment of the opinions is not possible in a dialogue, the author provides references and quotations to make the doctrines of the Brahmans more accessible to readers. The purpose of the book is primarily to help Indian clergy in dealing with heathens, but it may also be useful for those interested in pantheistic tendencies in England. The author has omitted certain topics, such as an explanation of the Christian system, for the sake of delicacy in dealing with heathens. The author acknowledges the assistance of Professor Wilson and the Rev. C. Marriott in the writing of this work.
