A commentary on the Gospel according to John is attempted here from the background and context of religious Pluralism of India. In all hermeneutics, in all understanding and interpretation, the context decides the content. Jesus was the Ishta devata (chosen Detty) of the Johannine Community. India is the land of religois Pluralism, the land of many Ishta Devatas and therefore Indians can understand this Gospel without much difficulty. Jesus is the author’s Ishta Devata as well and the twenty sermons includes are all on the Gospel of God in Jesus interpreted from the India context. The book also discusses Brahmabandav Upadhyaya. Rabindranath Tagore and the Neo-vedantins. Christian responses to Hinduism. Episcopacy in the eastern Churches, the Ninth Assembly of the World Council of Churches, Advanced Theological Education and Pluralistic Inclusivism are the other topics covered in this work.
