Revision as of 20:40, 7 August 2017
Regunta Yesurathnam (born 16 October 1941; died 8 August 2011) was a Systematic Theologian with major contribution to Dialogical Theology and his work has been listed in the Elenchus of Biblica and International Bulletin of Missionary Research. Yesurathnam's work is available in nearly 35 Research institutes of repute comprising Seminaries,, American State Universities and Research Academies across Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America.
In 2000, Professor Jutta Sperber of the University of Münster, Germany in a major work about Dialogical Theology with special reference to the activities of the World Council of Churches and its unit on Dialogue (notable for the contribution of Stanley Jedidiah Samartha) has quoted the work of Yesurathnam on the Christian-Muslim dialogue. In 2004, Bob Robinson in Christians Meeting Hindus: An Analysis and Theological Critique of the Hindu-Christian Encounter in India took note of the work of Yesurathnam on Avatara with special emphasis on Christianity which was also picked up by Steven Tsoukalas in his 2007 work quoting Yesurathnam on the forms of Avatara.
In 2005, Professor Charles E. Van Engen of the Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California wrote a major work on Contextualization with reference to Theology in which he acknowledges the contribution of Yesurathnam. Van Engen writes, Contextualization in this narrow and more technical sense involves not only theologizing as an active process, but also expands the scope of the sources of one's theological reflection to include all appropriate aspects of human experience. This dynamic process of interaction with all aspects of of the context was highlighted recently by Regunta Yesurathnam, Professor of Systematic theology,
The term contextualization includes all that is implied in indigenization or inculturation, but also seeks also to include the realities of contemporary, secularity, technology, and the struggle for human justice... Contextualization both extends and corrects the older terminology. While indigenization tends to focus on the purely cultural dimension of human experience, contextualization broadens the understanding of culture to include social, political, and economic questions. In this way, culture is understood in more dynamic and flexible ways, and is seen not as closed and self-contained, but as open and able to be enriched by an encounter with other cultures and movements.

After initial schooling at the Christian mission schools founded by the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society (WMMS) in Telangana, Yesurathnam discerned his avocation to take up Priesthood during the bishopric of Eber Priestley who became his Spiritual Confessor and led Yesurathnam to take up spiritual studies at the United Theological College, Bangalore during 1963-1965 then under the notable principal Joshua Russell Chandran, CSI and the Old Testament Scholar E. C. John, CSI and others who were the Spiritual Formators during that period. Yesurathnam's companions at the College studying at varying internals included Arvind P. Nirmal, CNI, K. C. Abraham, CSI, C. L. Furtado, CSI, G. T. Abraham, CSI, Philipose Mar Eusebius, MOSC and others. At the subsequent convocation of the Senate of Serampore College (University), Yesurathnam was awarded a B. D. degree during the Registrarship of Chetti Devasahayam, CBCNC.
Postgraduate
In 1969 during the bishopric of H. D. L. Abraham, Bishop - in - Medak, Yesurathnam was recalled from recalled from parish work and sent to the Protestant Regional Theologiate in Bangalore for further spiritual studies leading to M. Th. during 1969-1972 where he researched under Joshua Russell Chandran, CSI, a Systematic Theologian himself. This time around, Yesurathnam's companions included D. W. Jesudoss, TELC, and his graduate companion Philipose Mar Eusebius, MOSC who returned the same time as Yesurathnam for pursuing postgraduate studies. Yesurathnam's other companions from the graduate section comprised S. J. Theodore, CSI, Timotheas Hembrom, NELC, H. S. Wilson, CSI, D. I. Hans, CSI, P. J. Lawrence, CSI, Basil Rebera, J. W. Gladstone, CSI, D. Dhanaraj, CSI, Sydney Salins, CSI, John Sadananda, CSI, Christopher Asir, CSI and others.
Yesurathnam was awarded the postgraduate degree of M. Th. in the ensuing convocation of University led by the Registrar, Chetti Devasahayam, CBCNC.
Doctoral
After a 5-year teaching ministry that began in 1973 at the Andhra Christian Theological College, Secunderabad, Yesurathnam qualified to undertake doctoral level research in 1978 and sought a 5-year study leave from then Principal Victor Premasagar, CSI who enabled the leave through the Board of Governors of the College. Yesurathnam's Bishop during that period, B. G. Prasada Rao, Bishop - in - Medak made efforts to ensure that Yesurathnam was able to join his alma mater, the United Theological College, Bangalore where Yesurathnam was able to take up research in the discipline of Systematic theology under the guidance of the notable Systematic Theologian Arvind P. Nirmal, CNI who incidentally was his graduate companion during 1963-1965. Yesurathnam also came under the tutelage of Stanley Jedidiah Samartha, a leading authority on Dialogical Theology who was in Bangalore during that period. During the research period between 1978-1982, Yesurathnam was also sent to the University of Birmingham, Birmingham, England in 1979 for a two-year research exposure. In 1987, the Senate of Serampore College (University) awarded the doctoral degree of D. Th. to Yesurathnam during the Registrarship of D. S. Satyaranjan, IPC. Nearly two decades later, Yesurathnam sought permission from the Senate of Serampore College (University) to publish his doctoral work in 2006.
Ministry
Pastoral ministry
Yesurathnam was ordained in 1966 by Bishop Eber Priestley, then Bishop - in - Medak and was assigned ministerial functions in the parishes falling under the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Diocese of Medak and served upto 1969. After a three-year period of study for postgraduate studies, Yesurathnam again returned in 1972 and pastored for two years until 1974 when he took up teaching ministry at the Protestant Regional Theologiate in Secunderabad.
Teaching ministry
In 1972, the Andhra Christian Theological College moved from Rajahmundry to Secunderabad. The Systematic Theologian, Waldo Penner, CBCNC, one of the co-founders of the College hailing from the Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars did not move to the new location in Secunderabad and the unfilled vacancy that arose was sourced by inviting Yesurathnam from the Diocese of Medak of the Church of South India. Yesurathnam joined the College during in 1974 during the Principalship of the Cantabrigian and Old Testament Scholar, Victor Premasagar, CSI and was later joined by B. J. Christie Kumar, STBC in 1977 and the two led the teaching of Systematic theology for nearly a decade until they were joined by G. Dyvasirvadam, CSI in 1984. In 1986 when Suppogu Joseph became Principal of the College, the Systematic Theologian Jürgen Fangmeier, came to teach as a Guest Professor enriching the discipline of Systematic theology at the College. In 1993, during the Principalship of M. Victor Paul, AELC, Yesurathnam was sent to the de:Kirchliche Hochschule Wuppertal/Bethel, Germany as Guest Professor where he taught for a year and returned in 1994 to take up the Principalship of the College for a 4-year period that saw new faculty which joined the College comprising K. Reuben Mark, the present Bishop - in - Karimnagar and others. In 1998, the four-year cycle of Principalship passed on to the Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars which had to choose K. D. G. Prakasa Rao, CBCNC, as the Old Testament Scholar, G. Babu Rao, CBCNC, as the original appointee, relinquished the stake. Meanwhile, Yesurathnam proceeded on a year's sabbatical leave to the Overseas Ministries Study Center, New Haven, Connecticut to continue his academic pursuits.
Missionary service
The Council for World Mission (CWM) headquartered in England is involved in missionary enterprise in far reached areas around the globe. During the tenure of G. Dyvasirvadam, CSI as General Secretary at the Church of South India Synod, efforts were made by the CWM to garner missionary service from the participating dioceses of the Church of South India. Yesurathnam's former colleague, G. Dyvasirvadam, CSI sought the permission of B. P. Sugandhar, then Bishop - in - Medak to enable the missionary service to the United Church in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands and in 2000, Yesurathnam moved to the International University of the Caribbean, Kingston (Jamaica) where he began his sojourn in the New millennium and served as a theological educator for nearly a decade until his sudden death on 8 August 2011 at the Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad.
