Engaging Hinduism: Rethinking Christian Apologetics in India

20 pages into the book and I’m already enjoying it. The content is highly appreciated and the language used is excellent.

I really appreciate the work put out by Pastor David, having read bahnsen and Van Til I could say this is really a good book critiquing Hinduism from a philosophical and presuppositional viewpoint. The first few chapters deal with the apologetic methodology and history of apologetics in India and then the author delves into his critique of Hinduism and shows how Hinduism fails to account for anything. (Ethics, laws of logic, etc)

Very well structured, developed and footnoted. A great summarisation and presentation of exactly what is promised in the Title and Subtitle. Grounded in personal experience. Can be slightly intense if you're not familiar with philosophical and theological terminology. But a good starter of the conversation that needs to be had around this topic.God is, and God has spoken to us in His Word. This is the foundation of all of reality and all truth. Any lofty argument that contradicts these fundamental presuppositional truths ends up eating itself. This book shows how that is particularly true of the modernised and sanitized version of Hinduism that has made its way into the Indian academia and popular media.This book shows how neo-Hinduism is not consistent with itself and those who follow it, don't do it consistently but instead have to borrow from the Word and Law of God, being made in His image.I highly recommend it to you if you want to be more biblical in your apologetics, especially as you engage with neo-Hindus.

Engaging Hinduism is one of the best books I have read. The book not only proves the credibility of presuppositional apologetics in presenting the truth, but also helps us understand in detail the tenets of Neo Hinduism(which many of us Christians, do not even have an idea about, when we engage with a modern Hindu). I appreciate the way it started with the history of engagement of Christian apologists with Hinduism (which kind of gives the answer to why Christianity remained as another legalistic religion for many converts) and also the detailed explanation of Paul’s apology. The book helped me to see the beauty of presuppositional apologetics and how it is the perfect way to engage with Hinduism.
