EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "A Child Taught to Adore Siva" transports us back to the 19th century, where we witness a poignant moment of religious instruction. The image, part of a private collection, was originally published in the book "Conquests of the Cross" edited by Edwin Hodder. In this scene, we see a young child from India being introduced to the Christian faith by missionaries. With eyes wide open and hands clasped together in reverence, the child is taught to adore Siva, one of the most revered deities in Hinduism. This encounter between Christianity and Indian culture highlights the global reach and impact of missionary work during that time. The engraving beautifully captures both curiosity and innocence on the child's face as they are exposed to new religious beliefs. It serves as a reminder that religion often plays an influential role in shaping cultural identities and values across different societies. Through this thought-provoking artwork, we are invited to reflect on themes such as religious diversity, interfaith dialogue, and how children become inheritors of their respective traditions. It also prompts us to consider how encounters with other religions can shape our own spiritual journeys. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into history while raising questions about faith, education, and cross-cultural interactions that remain relevant even today.
