| Summary: | This study engages reception history from its roots in literary theory to its employment in biblical studies. Following the Encyclopedia of Religion and Its Reception's (EBR) established domain of "other" religions, this essay explores the reception of the Bible in India, focusing on the figure of Ram Mohan Roy and his interpretation of the New Testament. As a point of comparison, the essay looks at the reception history of the Bhagavad-Gītā in the West. In juxtaposition, the reception history of the Bible in India and the reception history of the Bhagavad-Gītā in the West show a striking imbalance in reading a text when "crossing the lines" of a tradition. |
