Description
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.

This is a fabulous book for anyone to read. I loved it!!!! I can't believe I have waited this long to read it!

I was impressed by what he had to say and how he said it. There is no question that the work is dated. He has spoken to Gandhi multiple times but he thinks of Gandhi's campaign as a noble failure (because at the time that it was written, it was precisely that. Very grateful to have read this book.
