WHAT EVERY HINDU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CHRISTIANITY leverages cutting-edge scholarly researches in textual criticism and cognitive sciences to arrive at a reasonable understanding of Christian beliefs. The findings it presents reveal a hitherto unknown face of Christianity to the rational Hindu. It concludes that Christianity originated in a psychotic milieu, Christian beliefs are self-contradictory, and theology invalidates the need to believe. It explores the provocative question of whether Jesus is a myth. It systematically argues that Christianity lacks an ethical framework, 'Herem warfare' is the Christian code of holy extermination, Christian beliefs and practices may cause harm to both Hindus and Christians, and concludes that Hinduism and Christianity cannot coexist. It offers a prescription on and how to engage Christianity and why mutual respect cannot be the precondition for Hindu-Christian engagement.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is like an Antivirus program that every Hindu needsReviewed in India on June 27, 2017
Verified Purchase

This book is like an Antivirus program that every Hindu needs. Though the book is complete in it self it is better to read it in tandem with books by Rajiv Malhotra eg..Being Different. The concept of purvpaksh is beautifully applied. It Throws a bright beam of light for every person of any faith or religion or of Sanatan Dharm to reveal the dangerous Abyss which lies ahead in the darkness in the form of Christianity, Islam and Judaism...the Abrahamic faiths...the faiths that are cause of the world wars and the mad rush for resources resulting in massive ecological disaster.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for all interested in freedom of religionReviewed in India on February 12, 2020
Verified Purchase

This is a must read for all (not just Hindus) to understand the concepts that lead to aggressive proselytization which has serious societal and other damages. A deeply researched and well argued book which is able to provide a critical fact based analysis.
