What to expect
For more than one hundred years, E. Stanley Jones has led the way in evangelism by contextualizing Christ in the existing culture, wherever that may be. In The Christ of the Indian Road, he recounts his experiences in India, where he arrived as a young and presumptuous missionary who later matured into a veteran who attempted to contextualize Jesus Christ within the Indian culture. Jones names the mistakes many Christians make in trying to impose their culture on the existing culture. Instead, he makes the case that we learn from other cultures, respect the truth found there, and let Christ and the existing culture do the rest.
Introduced with a foreword by Leonard Sweet, this expanded edition includes essays by church leaders reflecting on the impact of Jones's revolutionary approach to discovering the Jesus already present in each culture and what those learnings mean for the church today. Contributors include: Most Rev. Dr. Theodosius Mar Thoma Metropolitan, Dr. Sathianathan Clarke, Rev. Dr. John Thatamanil, Very Rev. Abraham O. Kadavil Corepiscopos, and Rev. Dr. Shivraj Mahendra.
