{"product_id":"hindu-mission-christian-mission-reid-b-locklin-9781438497419","title":"Hindu Mission, Christian Mission: Soundings in Comparative Theology","description":"For some four hundred years, Hindus and Christians have been engaged in a public controversy about conversion and missionary proselytization, especially in India and the Hindu diaspora. \u003ci\u003eHindu Mission, Christian Mission\u003c\/i\u003e reframes this controversy by shifting attention from \"conversion\" to a wider, interreligious study of \"mission\" as a category of thought and practice. Comparative theologian Reid B. Locklin traces the emergence of the nondualist Hindu teaching of Advaita Vedānta as a missionary tradition, from the eighth century to the present day, and draws this tradition into dialogue with contemporary proposals in Christian missiology. As a descriptive study of the Chinmaya Mission, the Ramakrishna Mission, and other leading Advaita mission movements, \u003ci\u003eHindu Mission, Christian Mission\u003c\/i\u003e contributes to a growing body of scholarship on transnational Hinduism. As a speculative work of Christian comparative theology, it develops key themes from this engagement for a new, interreligious theology of mission and conversion for the twenty-first century and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reid B.
