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.… (altro)

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. (

When the early evangelists of the Good News were sent out on their own, they returned and told Jesus "what they had done and what they had taught."

Citazioni

We must call men not to loyalty to a belief but loyalty to a Person. We may be loyal to a belief and be dead spiritually, but we cannot be loyal to this Person and be other than alive spiritually. He creates belief. He is the great Believer himself, and in the light of his radiant faith we cannot but believe. But we do not get Jesus from our beliefs, we get our beliefs from Jesus. And they must of necessity be under constant correction by his mind and spirit.

If some are afraid of what might happen if we were to give India Jesus without hard-and-fast systems of thought and ecclesiastical organization, lest the whole be corrupted, let our fears be allayed. Jesus is well able to take care of himself.

We who feel that we must be steadiers of the ark must remember that Jesus can take care of himself, even in moments when there seems most to fear.

Every nation has its peculiar contribution to make to the interpretation of Christianity. The Son of man is too great to be expressed by any one portion of humanity. Those that differ from us most will probably contribute most to our expression of Christianity.

I went to India through pity. I stay through respect. I love India because she is lovable. I respect her because she is respectable; she has become dear to me because she is endearing.
