What Is The Meaning Of Bullock-cart Christology
into the true nature of human life and its ultimate goal. He evaluated the major secular ideologies of India, focusing on anthropology, and tried to reconceive the secular meaning of Christ. In the end, he affirms the reality of human beings as created in the image of God, but fallen creatures, of 'the Crucified and Risen Jesus Christ as the true man and the source of renewal of human nature and through it of all things'.38 In his later studies also, Christ was his central concern and he was...

Points Of Contact And The Christian Use Of Hindu Concepts
S. K. Datta 1878-1942 and S. K. Rudra 1861-1925 in the North, and K. T. Paul 1876-1931 and V. S. Azariah 1874-1945 in the South, in general terms, sharing some of the ideas of the missionary theologians mentioned above, presented Christ as a window to God and vision for humanity, as well as a source of inspiration to raise the moral consciousness of Indians.18 But they were divided on the question of the value and theological validity of the institutionalized church in India. The last two made...
Different Styles And Models Of Indian Christian Theologies
We have space here only to illustrate the major approaches, about which several preliminary points should be made. First, many of the influential theologians of Protestant circles in India were non-professionals with claims to first-hand religious experience, and they came up with random reflections. This could be best illustrated with the approach of Sadhu Sundar Singh 1889-1929 . As a convert from the Sikh tradition through a mystical encounter with Christ, Sundar Singh joined a divinity...
Western Theology And Indigenous Theology Under Democracy
The third rise of Christianity in Japan comes after the war. The full freedom of religion in the new Japanese Constitution of 1947 boosts Christianity again in Japan, as part of the process of democratization instigated by the American occupation policies. Independently of the reintroduction of Christianity, an ingenious Japanese theology emerged from within the painful situation of defeat that is, Theology of the Pain of God 1946 by Kazo Kitamori 1916 98 .

A New Awakening To Distinctive Identities And Fresh Theological Insights
'Is Christianity the teaching of Christ or the teaching of a certain body of men '56 The learned pandita Ramabai asked this question. We have already noted her association with Goreh and Sen. As a convert and social activist, particularly committed to the emancipation of hapless widows, she was reacting to sophisticated translations of the Bible with misleading Hindu terms, grand ceremonies and dogmas produced by men using their 53 See T.

Vernacular Attempts At Theologizing
So far we have noted reflections done in English with reference to Sanskrit traditions. It is important to recognize contributions in the vernacular, which display features of originality and spontaneity. For example, Narayan Vaman Tilak 1862-1919 , the poet of Maharashtra, was a convert, who became a Christian monk, and who sought to gather round himself a group called 'God's Darb r, a brotherhood of the 'baptised and unbaptised disciples of Christ'. Tilak wanted to present Christ to India in...

The Missionary Contribution To Indian Christian Theologizing
Western missionaries came to India with a definite mandate to preach the gospel of light to heathens. But some of them had startling experiences when they encountered natives who had a high sense of morality and undertook fascinating acts of religious devotion. This happened to the first Protestant missionary, Barthalomaeus Ziegenbalg 1682-1719 , who was sponsored by a Danish king, sent by the pietistic Halle Mission, and landed on the east coast of southern India in 1706. Startled by the...
