The Gospel of John in the Light of Indian Mysticism (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Explores St. John's Gospel from an Eastern perspective to reveal the interconnectedness of all faiths and the need for interfaith dialogue • Takes readers beyond academic and historical analyses by exploring the mystical foundation of the Gospel • Includes the full text of the Gospel of John interwoven with passage-by-passage interpretations The Gospel of John is different from the other canonical gospels in its overall point of view concerning Jesus Christ and his mission on earth. It is much more cosmological in scale and mystical in nature and has long been considered more esoteric. The Gospel of John in the Light of Indian Mysticism presents an unusual and rewarding exploration of this Christian text from a Hindu perspective as Ravi Ravindra takes us into the heart of St. John's words, eloquently and convincingly revealing the interconnectedness of all faiths and the growing need in today's world for interfaith dialogue. For those concerned with the emergence of a universal spirituality, Ravindra provides a source of light, a translucent pool of wisdom that offers from its depths an immense and lasting spiritual vision.
