DESCRIPTION
Series: Christian Commentaries on Non Christian Sacred Texts (CCNST)Christians have long encountered adherents of other religions in their daily lives. But how many have thought to read the "holy texts" of other faiths in order to better understand our own?
In this collection of Christian commentaries on the Bhagavad Gītā, Christian theologians and scholars of Hinduism offer a variety of perspectives on the text, using different commentarial approaches and styles, from close textual analysis and exegetical comparison to more general theological reflection on the text, from comparison of the Gītā with a particular Christian classic to a focus on specific religious categories such as detachment, incarnation, and eschatology.
