520 8 People in India form images of Jesus Christ that link up
with their own culture. Hindus have given Jesus a place
among the teachers and gods of their own religion, seeing
in his life something of the wisdom and mysticism that is
so central to Hinduism. Christians in India also make use
of the concepts provided by Hinduism when they wish to
express the meaning of Christ. Thus, in any case, Jesus
is¿for Hindus and Christians¿a guru, a teacher of wisdom
who speaks with divine authority. But for many Hindu
philosophers and Christian theologians there is much more
that can be said about him within the Indian framework. He
can be described as an avatara, a divine descent, or
linked to the Brahman, the all-encompassing Reality. This
study looks at both Hindu and Christian views of Christ,
starting with that of the Hindu reformer Rammohan Roy at
the beginning of the nineteenth century, as well as those
of the first Christian theologians of India. The views of
Mahatma Gandhi and the monks of the Ramakrishna Mission
are discussed, and those of influential Christian schools
such as the Ashram movement and dalit theology. Five
intermezzos indicate how artists in India portray Jesus
Christ.
