Abstract

AbstractThis article discusses the future of Hindu–Christian dialogue by framing the issues around a few central questions: Are Hindus interested in dialogue with Christians? Is dialogue a Christian problem? Is there anything to discuss? Are there no differences? Is there anything to learn? Is there a future for Hindu–Christian dialogue? Most Hindus see Christianity as a tradition concerned exclusively with conversion. They think of Christianity as a religion that is not genuinely open to the religious claims and experiences of others. In addition, there is a widespread Hindu perception that interreligious dialogue is a special Christian problem because Christianity, among all the world’s religions, is most challenged theologically by the fact of religious diversity. Finally, there are fewer Hindu scholars of Christianity than Christian scholars who study the Hindu tradition. These are among the significant challenges of Hindu–Christian dialogue that this article addresses.
