ABSTRACT
Sen’s acceptance of the divinity of Christ, his description of himself as Jesudas, the servant of Jesus, and remarks such as ‘Christ rules India’, suggest that he had completely embraced the Christian faith. But for him Christ is an Asiatic and his divinity the divinity of humanity, an essentially Hindu doctrine. His life and character is in accordance with the ideal of Hindu life and his concept of oneness with God is comparable with the Vedāntic notion of man’s identity with the Godhead. His concept of incarnation is not the embodiment of the absolute perfection of divinity but the manifestation of God in humanity, God in mankind rather than God made man. God reveals himself in history through great men, and prophets are divine incarnations in the sense that they manifest the spirit of God.
