Q. Who among the following was authored the “Precepts of Jesus”?

[A] Raja Rammohan Roy

[B] Ishwar Chanra Vidyasagar

[C] Aurbindo Ghosh

[D] Debendranath Tagore

Answer: A
Notes:

Explanation: Raja Rammohan Roy (1772-1833), often called the father of Indian Renaissance and the maker of Modern India, was a man of versatile genius.

  • He said the principles of rationalism applied to other sects also, particularly to the elements of blind faith in them.
  • In his Precepts of Jesus (1820), he tried to separate the moral and philosophical message of the New Testament, which he praised, from its miracle stories.
  • He earned the wrath of missionaries over his advocacy to incorporate the message of Christ into Hinduism.
