Contents Foreword Preface Abbreviations Introduction Part I Sacrifice and Cosmos in the Vedas 1 Status Questions on Sacrifice 2 The Vedic Sacrifice and its Vision of the Cosmos 3 The Interiorisation of the Vedic Sacrifice and its Effect in the Emergence of the Notion of Bhakti Part II The Eucharistic Sacrifice and its Cosmic Dyn…amism 4 The Descending and Ascending Dimensions of the Eucharistic Sacrifice 5 The Cosmic Dynamism of the Eucharist Part III Yajna and the Eucharist in Dialogue 6 Yajna and the Eucharist Sacrificial Creation and Sacrificial Redemption 7 A Comparison of the Panca-mahayajnas with the Eucharist Conclusion Glossary Bibliography Index In Hinduism Yajna has been at the centre of Vedic thought and practice epic and Puranic literature The Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita add new dimensions to it through their spiritualization and interiorization and raising tapas and bhakti into sacrifice The concept of sacrifice has been transformed into an ethical spiritual and political value by Tilak and Gandhi in modern Hinduism Christianity?s interpretation of the mission of Jesus as a true non-ritual sacrifice resulted in the gift of salvation to the world The volume presents a deep understanding of the concept of sacrifice which is a central thought in Hinduism and Christianity It studies the way the two traditions have related sacrifice to the reality of the whole cosmos including the material universe The Vedic view is seen as the best example of creation through divine sacrifice and the Christian Cross as that of redemption through divine sacrifice The cosmic dynamism of the Eucharistic sacrifice is revealed through a study of four theologians In this painstaking work sacrifice is examined as a complex universal phenomenon which has many-sided and multifaceted religious connotations Thus it discovers the complementarity and interconnection between Vedism and ChristianityThe book presents a new approach to study of religions and religious concepts It would prove useful for scholars of religious studies 413 pp.
