By: Mike Mazzalongo Posted: December, 2020

This entire lesson is devoted to comparing Hinduism to Christianity.

Discussion Questions

Hinduism describes Brahma as a pure spirit and the ultimate life power of the universe, without personality or being, and not an object of prayer. In contrast, Christianity portrays God as a personal being with whom believers can have a relationship. How do these differing views of the divine influence the religious practices and spiritual experiences of adherents in each faith?
Hinduism has a long history of social divisions through the caste system, while Christianity teaches that all people are equal before God. How do these different perspectives influence the way each religion views community and relationships?
Hinduism teaches that the physical world is an illusion (Maya), while Christianity sees it as God's creation, how do these different beliefs shape their moral and ethical teachings?
