About The Book: Swami Vivekananda on Hinduism: An Examination of his Address at The Chicago Parliament of Religions by John Murdoch critically analyzes Vivekananda's historic 1893 speech in Chicago. Murdoch scrutinizes the philosophical and theological claims Vivekananda presented, particularly his portrayal of Hinduism's inclusivity and universality. While acknowledging the speech's eloquence and its impact on promoting Hinduism globally, Murdoch questions its historical accuracy and its representation of Hindu doctrines. The book reflects Murdoch's perspective as a Christian missionary, providing a contrasting viewpoint on Vivekananda's ideas.
