Confluence of Religions. Panikkar's Christological prayana 1

Christ, according to Raimundo Panikkar, must not be limited to the Christian context, a saviour in history, in the context of world religions. As Hinduism experiences a transhistorical mediator with ten thousand echoes, it will be more appropriate to describe Christ as a 'cosmotheandric mystery'. Panikkar's Christological Prayana series presents the insights that are particular to the understanding of the Christ-mystery in Hindu religious experience. Panikkar states that Christ is not 'just' the historical Jesus. Jesus is the symbol of the Unknown Christ of Hinduism. The idea of promoting Hindu-Christian dialogue will also pave the way for an eco-Christology. The sacred scriptures and rituals of Hinduism are full of symbols or iconography of nature and the cosmos. Confluence of Religions: Panikkar's Christological Prayana 1, the first book in the series, deals more with Panikkar's semantics to understand his Christological insights. A comprehensive bibliography of Panikkar is included, also with a view to the forthcoming books in the series.
