Rethinking Hindu Ministry:: Papers from the Rethinking Forum - Paperback

by H. L. Richard (Editor)

Hindu traditions are diverse and complex.

Simple summaries of Hindu beliefs and practices aren't adequate to explain their captivating allure for Hindus. This collection of papers from seasoned practitioners observes Hindu traditions and Hindu ministry from new angles, introducing new perspectives on ministry in Christ's name that are relevant far beyond the Hindu world. Broad conceptual pictures and detailed practical advice is presented. Also highlighted are some remarkable Hindus who surrendered to Christ - and wrestled with the meaning of following Him in their Hindu families.

This is the first book to turn to for pointers on sharing Christ with Hindus.
