ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the Christian and Hindu concepts of the Moral Law and the demand that it makes on man. It discusses what sort of values he must cultivate or what sort of character he must develop if he is to be in harmony with the divine law. In classical Christianity the perfectionism of the gospel stands in a much more difficult relation to the estimate of human resources. The love Commandment stands in juxtaposition to the fact of sin.’ It becomes clear on this evidence, then, that if the deduction of total corruption from the classical Christian doctrine of Sin is rather extremist, the interpretation of complete freedom and unlimited capacity which the liberal Christians put on this doctrine is no less so. The chapter explores the consideration of human freedom in the context of Hinduism.
