The Christ of the Indian Road

Jones 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. He names the mistake many Christians make in trying to impose their culture on the existing culture where they are bringing Christ. Instead he makes the case that Christians learn from other cultures, respect the truth that can be found there, and let Christ and the existing culture do the rest.

One of my favourite books ever. E. Stanley Jones was so ahead of his time. The book seems to get better and more richer as time passes. Heavily recommend to any follower of Christ.
