These attempts to explain, interpret, and formulate the essentials of Christianity in Indian thought - patterns have enabled Indian thinkers to contribute something to Christian theology.这些企图解释,解释,并制订了要领,基督教在印度的思维-模式,使印度的思想家贡献一些基督教神学。 While contributing to the field of apologetics, these attempts to wed faith with reason, revealed theology with natural theology, have had only partial success.同时又有助于提高该领域的护教学,这些企图结婚的信仰之以理,揭示了神学与自然神学,也只有部分成功。 It has, to an extent, made the gospel relevant in the context of Indian nationalism, religiocultural pluralism, and socioeconomic development. ,它已在某程度上,取得了福音的内容有关印度民族主义, religiocultural多元发展,与社会经济的发展。 It marks the beginning of Indian biblical scholarship and creative theological formulations.它标志着印度圣经的治学精神和创造性的神学配方。 Yet none has managed to be faithful to Christian theology in its entirety, nor to the context and content simultaneously.然而,并没有设法互相忠实,基督教神学在其整体性,也不符合上下文和内容,同时进行。 Quite often "context" has become more decisive than the "text," and this is critical.常常是"语境" ,越来越成为决定性比"文本" ,这是至关重要的。
