Has ISKCON Anything to Offer Christianity Theologically?

Abstract

The article "Has ISKCON Anything to Offer Christianity Theologically?" by Kenneth Rose explores how ISKCON’s theology can enrich Christian thought in areas like Revelation, God, and Eschatology. Drawing on his personal spiritual journey, Rose argues for interreligious dialogue over exclusivism. He highlights ISKCON's metaphysics—especially acintya bhedabheda—as a valuable counterpart to Christian analogical theology, and suggests its vivid portrayal of Goloka Vrindavana can enhance Christian visions of the afterlife. The piece also points to ethical and devotional practices in Vaishnavism as resources for deepening Christian spirituality.
