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.

In a country in which Christianity is either limp or antagonistic, Jones does a great job of reminding Christians of two central truths regarding evangelism: 1) we need to stick with the truth and proclaim the gospel without shame, and 2) we need to preach the gospel with our lives. Jones' writing is refreshing and easy to read. It is devotional and autobiographical. Seeing what God was doing in the early 20th century in India is a breath of fresh air. His affirmation of the good things that non-Christians have done as well as his criticism of the ways in which Christians have harmed their witness in India are invaluable to Christians trying to approach their culture today.Product details

The Christ of the Indian Road edition by Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
As relevant today as when it was written. So many of the issues we face today are echo's from the past. The solution remains the same. Jesus.
Mr. Jones breaks down Christology into a simple framework of belief in a Person. He captivatingly describes the experiential life of the Indian people as they follow Jesus within their own cultural context. Not a book of delusional methods for exporting Western Christianity to the East, namely India. Instead Jones writes from the experience of seeing The Christ of the Indian Road redeem, restore, and resurrect the beauty of India.
Extraordinary book on being and living a Christ like life in the East. Very very current in the compassion and heart understanding of eastern people's and culture and the embracing of it to present a living and loving Christ.
I had a chance to go to India recently. After returning I read this book and was shocked by the date it was written. What he describes is still taking place and the stories and thoughts are laced with hope and what India needs so desperately - Jesus. Not the West. But Jesus. Very compelling.
There is much that can be extracted from this pivotal work regarding how to have a missional approach to the people/place God has called you too.
E. Stanley Jones taught me to bring Jesus everywhere. Make Him simple. Proclaim unadulterated. Introduce Him to and trust Him with others. Be a learner of world-views and see where Christ is looking to fulfill because all truth is God’s truth. Saturate in Him daily and let the saturation pour to the hungry souls searching for it though they don’t know it yet.
So good. Read it.
This book is amazing. Even though it was written in the early 1900's I felt like it was written this year. I love how E. Stanley Jones just keeps it simple and focuses on Jesus and does not get distracted with the things that do not really matter. This should be required reading for anyone thinking of spending anytime over seas. It is also very beneficial for us all to think about how we entangle Jesus with so many other things. You will read his journey of separating Jesus from his culture, religion, and government. You will be challenged.
If you are considering this book then you already know that God wants relationship rather than religion. Indians are no fools or children to be brow beat or threatened . As ES Jones makes clear westerners have a great deal to learn and offer but it must be with the humility and the intimacy of our relationship by grace through faith with God .
