Summary: | Comparative theology involves systematic dialogue with another religion aimed at deepening and expanding one’s own tradition. The process of interreligious learning may take various forms which I have identified as: intensification, rediscovery, reinterpretation, appropriation, or reaffirmation. This article explores these types of learning through a focus on the topic of discipleship in Christianity and Hinduism. Though the notion of church may be less central to Hinduism, Christianity has much to gain from a systematic theological engagement with Hindu notions of discipleship and with their anthropological and philosophical underpinnings. |
