A Study in the Significance of Gandhi's "Satyagraha"

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1931, The Cross Moves East examines Gandhi's concept of Satyagraha (non-violent resistance) and analyses its philosophical parallels with Christian principles. The book begins by exploring the Cross and its significance in Christian history and theology. It then provides a commentary on Christianity and Indian religions. The author delves into India's spiritual traditions of devotion and explores the origins and development of Satyagraha. He creates a thoughtful comparison between Eastern spiritual traditions and Western religious thought.

The author concludes with a hopeful vision that Western societies might embrace Satyagraha's principles to address major social challenges, particularly international conflicts. This book will be a valuable read for students and researchers of comparative religion, philosophy, and peace studies.
