The truth(s) of translation

Hindu-Jewish seminar

This is the third of our joint seminars. We began with two sessions entitled, “Around the Table: A conversation on Jewish and Hindu dietary and dining customs”. Dr Miri Freud-Kandel and Prof. Ramaratnam led these seminars, in Trinity term 2003. This term we hope to journey from the kitchen to the temple and delve deeper into both traditions and their approaches to truth and interpretation

A Christian theology of religions in light of Hinduism (ten lectures)

These lectures aim to delineate the methods and goals of a Christian theology of religions informed by the faith, practice, and theologies of another religious tradition. In the limited space of these lectures, the Christian tradition will be discussed primarily in its Roman Catholic form; (certain strands of) Hinduism will serve as the example of another religious tradition.
