Raymond Panikkar is one of the most outstanding thinkers in the field of intercultural dialogue today. In this book, he offers a comprehensive critique of the core Christology of Western Christianity, arguing that traditional Western Christology is characterized by tribalism and historicism. He advocates for constructive modifications from an intercultural perspective, incorporating insights from Buddhism, Hinduism, and globalization. Panikkar seeks to liberate Christianity from its Western confinement while retaining its historical continuity. The book is regarded as one of the most significant works in Christian thought at the dawn of the 21st century.
Panikkar’s proposed nine scriptural passages on Christology can make Christianity more universal, more dialogical, and more likely to coexist peacefully with other religions.
