But the concept is not not as unique as some would think. For Hinduism, incarnation is considered natural and a part of life. This book deals both with the things that bring Chritianity and Hinduism together and those that separate them.The author says, "The subject of the incarnation is a continual preoccupation with me, because I see in Christ an incarnation of God and because I believe that a study of Ramakrishna throws a little more light on this mystery and therby on Christ as well.
