WORLD September 1, 1999 VNN4629 Comment on this story Image Of Christianity On The Vaishnava News Network (VNN) FROM THE JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS CULTURE GERMANY, Sep 1 (VNN) — By Dr. Phil. Peter Schmidt Excerpt: "In this essay different views of Christianity of several correspondents, senior editors and other staff members of VNN shall be treated. The text sources of the investigation were confined in time to one calendary year (1998). All relevant writings published by VNN can be looked up by means of the VNN internal search engine, concentrating on the key words "Jesus Christ", "Christianity" and "Bible". The results in this piece of work will be compared steadily to the scriptures of the Bengal Swami Abhay Caranaravinda Bhaktivedanta (1896-1977), briefly called "Bhaktivedanta Swami" or with the honorary title "Srila Prabhupada", mainly because of his predominant and fundamental influence on the modern Vaishnava community, not only in the western world of this outgoing 20th century. Especially Bhaktivedanta Swami's conception of an interreligious dialogue with the Christian faith will be taken into consideration." The complete text can be found at: http://www.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/htdocs/FB/fb6a/religion/relkultur28.html Dr. Phil. Peter Schmidt doctoral thesis about the interreligious dialogue of Bhaktivedanta Swami with Christianity will be published in English in fall of 1999.
