This book brings out the difference between the Christian dogma and the Indian experiences of Christ by Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi. They both looked upon Christ and Christianity through the lenses of Advaita Vedanta and Indian Tradition. Their Christ-experience thus emphasised more on the metaphysical and ethical dimensions, than on any ritualistic and confessional practices of Christianity. The Church can learn many lessons from their experiences and enriched by it.

Hardcover. Etat : New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword. Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. The Making of Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi. 3. The Pre-dominance of Indian Tradition and `Advaita Vedanta' in the Writings of Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi. 4. Vivekananda's and Gandhi's View of Christian Tradition, Religions and Christ from `Advaita Vedantic' Perspective. 6. Critical Analysis and Observations. 7. Conclusion. Bibliography. This comparative study brings out the differences between the Christian dogma and the Indian experiences of Christ by Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi. Both Vivekananda and Gandhi encountered Christ in the context of British colonialism in India. The Christ of the doctrines as presented by the Christian missionaries in a western framework was unacceptable to them. Instead, they looked upon Christ and Christianity through the lenses of Advaita Vedanta and Indian Tradition. Their Christ-experience thus emphasised more on the metaphysical and ethical dimensions, than on any ritualistic and confessional practices of Christianity. Although, the Christian Church in India may not be able to accept the views of Vivekananda and Gandhi as it is, still the Church can learn many lessons from their experiences and enriched by it. This book also provides clues for a dialogical relationship between Hinduism and Christianity in the present context of India, from the confrontational attitude of the colonial past. (jacket).
