Brahmabandhab Upadhyay, a Bengali thinker and Hindu ascetic, was baptised in 1891 and set himself to express Christian faith in the language of Vedanta, living as a Christian sannyasi. His bold, contested project — to make the gospel at home in Indian philosophy — still stirs debate a century on.

His own pre-1907 essays are public domain; Julius Lipner's biography is copyrighted and cited only.
