جزییات کتاب
The volume includes Roy’s Precepts in full, together with analysis of the social, cultural and political context out of which the Precepts emerged and the hermeneutical issues that the associated controversy generated. It also demonstrates how Roy’s work was a precursor to de-mythologising which the West took up later, and how his construing of an Asiatic Jesus, and his idea of a moral union between Father and Son, were embraced by later Indian writers. Further, Sugirtharajah draws lessons from this 19th century colonial religious controversy for a postcolonial world where religious texts are manipulated to provoke religious hatred and violence.
