Item description from seller

Language: English. About The Book: This book "An Essay Towards the Conversion of Learned and Philosophical Hindus" is written in the form of a dialogue and deals with the conflicting views of pantheistic Hinduism and Christianity. While a systematic treatment of the opinions is not possible in a dialogue, the author provides references and quotations to make the doctrines of the Brahmans more accessible to readers. The purpose of the book is primarily to help Indian clergy in dealing with heathens, but it may also be useful for those interested in pantheistic tendencies in England. The author has omitted certain topics, such as an explanation of the Christian system, for the sake of delicacy in dealing with heathens. The author acknowledges the assistance of Professor Wilson and the Rev. C. Marriott in the writing of this work. About The Author: John Brande Morris (1812-1880) was a renowned academic known for his eccentricity. He dedicated his scholarly pursuits to the study of Syriac and made significant contributions in the field. He attended Balliol College, Oxford, where he earned his B.A. honours in 1834 and his M.A. in 1837. Soon after, he was appointed as a Petrean fellow of Exeter College, Oxford, where he lectured on Hebrew and Syriac. Morris had a particular interest in Eastern and patristic theology. During his time at Oxford, Morris authored several works, including an "Essay towards the Conversion of Learned and Philosophical Hindus" in 1843, a poem titled "Nature: a Parable" in 1842, and translations such as "Select Homilies from St. Ephraem" from the Syriac in 1846 and John Chrysostom's "Homilies on the Romans" in 1841 for the Library of the Fathers. Following his conversion, he contributed to various Catholic periodicals such as the Dublin Review, The Lamp, and the Irish Monthly. Additionally, he wrote an essay called "Eucharist on Calvary," which explored the first Mass and the Passion.
