This book by Professor (Dr.) Ashok Rathore compares influence of Christianity on Australian Dreamtime belief and Indian Hinduism (Sanatan Dharm) religion. This is innovative work of theology and sociology with mature understanding of Christianity in two Indian subcontinents and Australian continent. The author has worked in America, Australia, and the Philippines and interacted with people of various faiths and religions (Jews, Christians, freemasons, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Buddhists, Unitarians, atheists, and numerous movements). Being a skeptic, the author always asked this question: where and why do we differ and have different religions, and where do we converge? In the world, with over two billion Christians, why is Christianity so popular worldwide? Why does Christianity remained stagnant at 2.3 percent in India? Whereas Christianity arrived in Australia only 227 years ago from Britain and over 70 percent Aborigines were converted to Christianity. The book evince There is no relative superiority of one religion over another. The world needs is a fellowship of faiths for a common goals for a global ethic which rejects conflict, revenge, aggression and retaliation with the foundation of love. The book is expected to serve as an important component to improve relationship for theologians, biblical scholars of different religions at an international level in both countries so that a common set of core values is found in the teachings and understanding of different religions and this will form the basis of a global ethic as recommended by the 1993 Parliament of the World. India is called the Land of Faith and Religion. One can witness the Indians practicing almost all the religions prevalent in the present world - Hinduism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity Buddhism, Jainism, Zoroastrianism, Sikhism and many others (including many movements and cults). Christianity's greatest contribution to our understanding of God is, Jesus of Nazareth.

John P. Jones' "India's Problem, Krishna or Christ" is an interesting look at the multiculturalism of India during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. At a time when English colonialism aimed to impart Christianity on the people of India, Hinduism faced the threat of disappearing. When many Indians might have felt torn between which faith to follow, Jones describes such a conflict that is important to read for a better understanding of this tense time in history.

The subaltern methodology has exerted a great impact in the field of current theology and hermeneutics. Its achievements and advantages are so numerous that no one can deny its significance in contemporary theological developments. This book is a critique on Raymond Panikkar's theology of trinity from the subaltern perspective. It analyses to what extent Panikkar is inclined to Brahmanic Hinduism and why he had more propensity towards Hinduism. The work, therefore, characterizes Panikkar's theology as `Hinduized theology' or to be precise as `Brahmanic theology', considering the fact that the questions and aspirations of the majority people in India could not be thoroughly addressed by him. It concludes that Indian Christian theology is really gasping for breath as it is under Brahmanic captivity. Indeed, this book will prove to be a major contribution to the current debate on Indian Christian theology. --

People in India form images of Jesus Christ that link up with their own culture. Hindus have given Jesus a place among the teachers and gods of their own religion, seeing in his life something of the wisdom and mysticism that is so central to Hinduism. Christians in India also make use of the concepts provided by Hinduism when they wish to express the meaning of Christ. Thus, in any case, Jesus is--for Hindus and Christians--a guru, a teacher of wisdom who speaks with divine authority. But for many Hindu philosophers and Christian theologians there is much more that can be said about him within the Indian framework. He can be described as an avatara, a divine descent, or linked to the Brahman, the all-encompassing Reality. This study looks at both Hindu and Christian views of Christ, starting with that of the Hindu reformer Rammohan Roy at the beginning of the nineteenth century, as well as those of the first Christian theologians of India. The views of Mahatma Gandhi and the monks of the Ramakrishna Mission are discussed, and those of influential Christian schools such as the Ashram movement and dalit theology. Five intermezzos indicate how artists in India portray Jesus Christ.

With a plethora of temples, churches and mosques all over the country, it is obvious that religion is alive and thriving in the Indian sub-continent. Religion is integral to Indian identity and spirituality. Every Indian has multiple identities such as caste, class, religion and region. Political groups try to capitalize this for their own gain. Inculturation has been the Church''s way of evangelizing since her very beginning as she moved from her Jewish background into global settings. Today the Church faces a greater challenge as she moves into a multicultural digital world. Due to significant political and theological developments, the Indian church has been suffering an identity crisis. Catholics in India are debating the wisdom of this "inculturation" - whether it is right or not to fuse Roman Catholicism with Hindu culture. When the Vatican advocated that the Church should move with the times while suppressing unchanging Catholic doctrine, many Catholics participated in these changes. Many of the clergy and the laity, out of obedience to the supreme Pontiff and eagerness for change, did not question the Vatican II counsel. Some feel this devalued and allowed the organized storming of the Catholic faith - allowing heresies to take deep root in defiance of God''s commandments! Many theologians are trying to convince us that Christianity in India has inherited an undesirable Western ambience and must realize her genuine identity. This inculturation effort involves a transformation of Catholic theology to provide greater spiritual accommodation for indigenous Indian religions and to dispel the notion that Christianity is the only true faith. If inculturation now means denying the exclusivity of Christianity, equating Christ with Hindu and Muslim deities, asserting that all religions have equal validity, and in some cases even aban�doning Christian theology to discover higher forms of spirituality in other religions, then is it acceptable to Catholics? If Catholic leaders can give up reading the Bible, meditate on the Ramayana and the Bhagavad Gita for inspiration, and consider Krishna "a genuine revelation of God''s grace and love," then why are they calling themselves Catholics or a Christians? If we look at the practices in the Catholic Church in India today, we can understand why resistance has been building among the laity against the effort of the theologians and many clergy to In�dianize the Catholic faith. Most of us ''old school'' Catholics were raised to worship in a particular way, and now it is be�ing radically altered. We are being told that our religious claims have been exaggerated. So why is Christianity being tailored for the Hindus, who don''t want to practice it, instead of for the Catholics who do? We are in a spiritual battle rather than a cultural or informational warfare. Unless we redefine our spirituality, we will go nowhere. Indians are wise and only a wise Church can serve them. How can we get back to our old traditions of faith in a modern non-Catholic or even a non-Christian environment? What answers do we have for our Hindu friends when they accuse Christians of doing things that are misleading Hindus? "Morphing My Faith" is all about inculturation in the Catholic Church in India. Not everything is wrong and we should welcome all that is good. I do not want to get back into a cocoon, but I still draw my strength from our traditions. It is our legacy, it is what keeps us going. We may accept the Vatican''s guidelines, but do we have to go overboard? The fact is that there is a tremendous difference between drawing from a faith tradition and blending faith traditions. When we look at what we have in the Catholic Church in India today, can we say that we are spirituality thriving even if we are starting to morph the way we worship in the predominantly Hindu environment? I hope and pray that we are. We are at the crossroads of our faith and I pray that we are not walking on religious quicksand.
