Description

C. Das (1887-1976) wrote thirteen major papers over a five-decade span which are reproduced here. Included is Das’ own account of his early Hindu family life and how he was drawn to Christ through the Brahmo Samaj and Christian contacts. Das became a forceful advocate of indigenization (inculturation, contextualization) in light of classical Hindu contexts. But evangelism was his central concern and included in this collection is his seminal booklet on How to Present Christ to a Hindu. This is not dated material of purely historical interest; a strong case could be presented that the opinions voiced in these essays are still living and vital on the edges of Christian and Hindu communities in India today, wherever there is concern that Christ should be understood and known by Hindus.
