References to other faiths in new Indian Bible draw some flak
08-09-2008
A special Bible published in India that seeks to place the Christian Scriptures within a local context has drawn mixed reactions, with some critics objecting to quotations from the sacred texts of other faiths in commentaries included in the Holy Book, reports Ecumenical News International.
The "New Community Bible" drew accolades from many Roman Catholic publications when it was published in June. Most of the 15 000 copies of the initial print run were sold soon after its release. Some Catholics, however, have not greeted the venture with enthusiasm, objecting to references to Hindu and other scriptures.
