- Summary
- "Hinduism is now truly a global spiritual phenomena, and no more merely the prevailing religious and philosophical worldview of India alone. Christians through the centuries have meaningfully tried to engage with Hinduism but with limited success. Hinduism continues to be the Indian Church's biggest challenge calling for an intellectually robust and comprehensive system of apologetics. To address this, the book introduces presuppositional apologetics, a Biblical and relatively untried model of apologetics in India. Scholarly and at the same time practical, the author demonstrates ho presuppositional apologetics can be effectively employed in the Indian context by engaging with the neo-Hindu philosophical thought of Swami Vivekananda."--Book jacket.
