Description
The Human Icon by Christine Mangala Frost explores the commonalities between Hinduism and Orthodox Christianity, two faiths that may seem worlds apart. Despite their differences, both religions seek to realise the divine potential in every human being. Frost draws on her own experiences with both traditions to examine how they approach this goal, tracing the history of Orthodox Christianity in India and its impact on Indian Christianity. She also considers the potential for confluence between Hindu thought and Christian theology, offering a fresh perspective on how devotees from both faiths strive towards divinisation. This book presents a thoughtful approach to understanding the similarities and differences between two major world religions, making it an interesting read for those looking to deepen their knowledge of these traditions.
