TOWARDS AN ASIAN HERMENEUTICS
Keywords:
ASIAN HERMENEUTICSAbstract
This article draws our attention to two fundamental dimensions
of biblical hermeneutics, namely, commitment to the poor and
conversion to an Indian world vision. Rightly, Professor L.
Legrand raises urgent and important questions in the context of
dalits and tribals. The author invites our attention to different
Asian zones having diverse religious concentration. Dr Legrand
points out the important interpretation of the Word of God
through textual and visual translations and transmissions. The
author reminds the readers that a truly Indian interpretation will
emerge as a component of a lively Asian hermeneutic that will
bring to the Christian oikoumene a contribution proportionate to
its global challenges and spiritual resources.
