Document Details : Title: Parallelisms in Sri Rāmānuja's and Saint Augustine's Soteriology Subtitle: Bases for a Deeper Dialogue of Theological Exchange between Hindus and Christians Author(s): ITAO, Alexis Deodato S. Journal: Studies in Interreligious Dialogue Volume: 34 Issue: 1 Date: 2024 Pages: 95-112 DOI: 10.2143/SID.34.1.3293511 Abstract : In terms of theology, practice, and norms, Hinduism is apparently far different from Christianity. And yet, in spite of their obvious differences, there are beliefs and teachings in which they share certain parallelisms. That is what this paper will explore. In particular, this paper will delve into the parallel themes and concepts found in the doctrine of soteriology of Sri Rāmānuja and St. Augustine — two of the most outstanding philosopher-theologians in the Hindu and Christian worlds. In addition, this paper further contends that the parallelisms in Rāmānuja’s and Augustine’s soteriology could serve as bases for a deeper dialogue of theological exchange between Hindus and Christians. |
