Summary: "Oriental Religions and Christianity" by Frank F. Ellinwood is a collection of lectures delivered in the late 19th century, specifically in 1891. The book examines the relationship between Christianity and various Eastern religions, particularly Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam, exploring the differences and similarities while asserting the superiority of Christian teachings. Ellinwood emphasizes the importance of understanding non-Christian religions for effective missionary work and addresses the misconceptions surrounding these faiths created in part by anti-Christian scholarship. The opening of the text provides a preface by Ellinwood outlining the objectives of the lectures, manifesting a concern for the need to engage with Oriental religious systems more thoroughly from a Christian perspective. He highlights that misconceptions regarding these religions, along with the misconceptions about Christianity itself, can hinder the missionary effort. Ellinwood argues for a candid and informed approach to studying these faiths, suggesting that embracing knowledge about them can ultimately affirm and enlighten one’s understanding of Christianity. Set against the backdrop of his time, the opening also outlines a call to action for believers to recognize the historical development and current relevance of these religions in a rapidly changing world.
