(A Critical Analysis of Bede Griffiths’ Attempt to Integrate Christian and Hindu Spiritual Traditions)
The contemporary world is increasingly defined by dialogue between East and West, where religious, cultural, and philosophical traditions encounter one another. Bede Griffiths stands as a significant figure in this process, seeking to integrate the spiritual treasures of Hinduism and Christianity. His vision of the “marriage of East and West” provides a framework for understanding complementarity without confusion, distinction without division. This study critically examines his thought, exploring how such dialogue can enrich Christian spirituality and contribute to a more mature, integrated, and holistic understanding of faith in contemporary humanity’s search for meaning and transcendence.
