The Role of Context in Hindu-Christian Engagement

This panel examines a variety of contextual factors that motivate Hindus and Christians to engage with and draw upon insights from each other's religious traditions. Instead of focusing on a single theme or historical period, this panel juxtaposes political, geographical, domestic, autobiographical, ethical, and critical approaches to context in order to widen our field of vision as we consider the possible roles of context in shaping Hindu-Christian engagement. Papers will be brief in order to accommodate a diversity of perspectives, illustrate the potential of divergent methodologies, and expand our understanding of the role of context in Hindu-Christian studies.
