- Title
Hindu‐Christian Comparative Theology in a Decolonial Key.
- Authors

- Abstract
This article imagines how the discipline of comparative theology might sound in a decolonial key. Focusing on implications for Hindu‐Christian comparative theology, this article puts the sacramental theological approach of Indian Christian artist and theologian Jyoti Sahi into conversation with Michi Saagiig (Mississauga) Nishnaabeg theorist Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's notion of land as pedagogy. In contrast to the narrow epistemology that dominates the academy, this study highlights features of a land‐based alternative in which place, positionality, and relation are central to knowing; in which a subject is not first a thinker but a person in relation to a particular locale; and in which ecological and theological thinking encompass not only the sustainability of natural "resources," but also the histories and exercises of power within a place.
