Krishna meets Jesus

[Guest guest]

After a few years, this book has finally been published in English.

 

Originally a German-written doctorate by Protestant theologian Dr. Peter

Schmidt of Frankfurt/Oder University, this book has been translated into

English language by the common effort of Ramesvara Das and Kamakili Drakuna.

In 250 pages, this book offers studies of Srila Prabhupada's education and

Vaishnava development in his early years, the Vaishnava and other sources of

his ideas about Christianity, and the development of ISKCON's dialogue with

other religions, especially Christianity, starting from the early years (not

touching the development of that dialogue in the recent years).

 

This is what BOD says about the book:

 

«This book investigates the views of Christianity of Abhay Charanaravinda

Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada (1896-1977), founder of the

“International Society for Krishna Consciousness” (ISKCON), a branch of the

Bengal Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition, commonly known in the West as the “Hare

Krishna Movement”. Furthermore it analyses his approach to a fertile

interreligious dialog with the Christian faith.»
