Edited by H. L. Richard

Benjamin Robinson was a British Methodist who worked in south India in the 1880s and wrote about his experiences in 1912. This is a reprint of his remarkable and moving account, with introduction and notes and appendixes by H. L. Richard. Much has changed since Robinson engaged with Hindus, but much remains the same. “I am drawn to this moving story because I have taken one tiny sip of the cup that Robinson drank. I deeply respect him.” (Timothy Shultz)
