Hindu‐Christian Comparative Theology in a Decolonial Key
This article imagines how the discipline of comparative theology might sound in a decolonial key. Focusing on implications for Hindu‐Christian comparative theology, this article puts the sacramental theological approach of Indian Christian artist and theologian Jyoti Sahi into conversation with Michi Saagiig (Mississauga) Nishnaabeg theorist Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's notion of land as pedagogy. In contrast to the narrow epistemology that domi…
Comparing Faithfully: Insights for Systematic Theological Reflection
In comparative theology, an adherent of one religious tradition reflects on faith through deep and focused conversation with another tradition. This volume equips students of Christian theology for leadership in a pluralistic world through conversations about God, theodicy, humanity, Christology, and soteriology that take seriously the wisdom of religious neighbors.
Comparative Moments: A Comparative Theological Orientation for Theological Education
This article argues for the deep integration of encounters with religious diversity into theological education. Some seminaries and theological schools, like Emmanuel College in the Toronto School of Theology, have made it a matter of institutional mission to prepare students to provide leadership and spiritual care in contexts of religious pluralism. The article draws upon the emerging field of comparative theology to propose methods and resourc…

Tastes of the Divine: Hindu and Christian Theologies of Emotion
Tastes of the Divine: Hindu and Christian Theologies of Emotion
The intensity and meaningfulness of aesthetic experience have often been described in theological terms. By designating basic human emotions as rasa, a word that connotes taste, flavor, or essence, Indian aesthetic theory conceptualizes emotional states as something to be savored. At their core, emotions can be tastes of the divine. In this book, the methods of the emerging discipline of comparative theology enable the author's appreciation of Hi…
Who Is My Good Neighbor?’ Classical Indian Dance in the Prophetic Work of the Church
The use of the classical dance form bharatanatyam by Catholic Christians has inspired vigorous resistance from Hindus and Christians alike. The most salient of these objections relate to the use of power. Some see this form of ministry as a colonialist appropriation; others argue that it perpetuates caste and religious values that do not belong to the majority of Indian Christians, who are Dalits. While the Church may eventually abandon this form…
Tasting the divine: The aesthetics of religious emotion in Indian Christianity
The category of rasa (emotional ‘tastes’) in Indian Christian theology and art offers a useful theoretical lens for the academic study of religious emotion. In this article, two Bharata Nāṭyam dance ministries provide a case study in the practical applicability of a rasa theology that is emerging within contemporary Indian Christianity. The Christian choreographers have significantly altered the emotions of love and peace in comparison with class…
Retrieving Humility: Rhetoric, Authority, and Divinization in Mechthild of Magdeburg
Can anything be reclaimed from the self-denigrating rhetoric of medieval women in the Christian tradition? This article investigates how feminists might retrieve the Christian virtue of humility by journeying through nine of its functions in the work of the thirteenth-century German beguine, Mechthild of Magdeburg. As a rhetorical strategy, authorizing tactic, and tool of moral formation, Mechthild's `sinking humility' retains a surprising releva…
