Özet: The comparative method is a research method that is frequently applied in the field of History of Religions. Thanks to this method, similarities and differences between beliefs and practices of different religions can be revealed. Besides, semantic changes of some terms in different religions can be determined. In this regard, the case of avatara and incarnation doctrines, which contain a number of similarities and differences, is an important example. In this article, from G. Parrinder's point of view, we will try to put forward the claims of similarities and differences between the Indians' doctrine of avatara and the Christians’ doctrine of the incarnation.
