Summary:

There is a great need in these times for a deeper and more universal understanding of the teachings of Jesus Christ. No mere intellectual analysis possesses the spiritual power and grace to transform the divisive dogma that separates sincere Christians from other faiths. The yogis of India, both ancient and modern, have gifted to the world a revelation of universality for the healing of the nations.Paramhansa Yogananda came to America in 1920 to focus the light of India's timeless and timely wisdom upon the teachings of Jesus Christ. In Once and Future Christ, Nayaswami Hriman McGilloway expands upon that message with the inclusion of modern scientific discoveries and an exploration of the similarities and relationships between Christianity and Yoga.This book describes the inevitable evolution of Christian dogma towards greater inclusivity. The pathway of this future evolution leads to an understanding that the individual soul's relationship to God is the goal of the spiritual life. The beauty, harmony and sacredness of individual spiritual traditions need not be sacrificed but may someday be understood in a deeper and more personally meaningful light.
