Description

Building Authentic Relationships with Hindus
Indians make up the world's largest diaspora community, and most of them are Hindus of diverse backgrounds, languages, and cultures. Millions of Hindus have migrated abroad in recent decades and are well-settled in different countries while many more are expected to be dispersed far and wide in the coming years. Many of them are highly educated and skilled, professionally successful, culturally adaptive, and very religious in their outlook.
Sharing Jesus with Hindus is the collective wisdom of many seasoned ministry leaders and practitioners about how to minister effectively to contemporary global Hindus. The contributors are situated in different parts of the world, and some come from Hindu backgrounds themselves. Emerging from an international conference on mission to and among Hindus worldwide, this book provides practical ministry strategies and scholarly reflections drawn from decades of insight.
The authors have experience in diasporic living and ministering to Hindus in diverse contexts. Learn how to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with your new neighbors from the Indian subcontinent. Avoid common mistakes and be an effective Christian witness to Hindus globally. Here is an essential resource in the toolkit of every church and Christian ministry worldwide.

Critic Reviews

Presenting invaluable guidance, Sharing Jesus with Hindus emerges as essential reading for individuals delving into the contextual interpretation of the Gospel within Hindu communities. With profound insight, the book not only underscores the critical significance of diaspora studies but also sheds light on the remarkable prominence of the Hindu diaspora within our interconnected global landscape.

-Jose Abraham, PhD, Associate Professor of Islamic Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary

Energetic Hindu agitators, organizers, and thinkers will seize upon this book to help them understand why so many Hindus in the diaspora are becoming Christians and will find here scholarship and analysis that is careful, thoughtful, systematic, and comprehensive-and which, to their surprise, will also lead to surprisingly numerous flashes of self-understanding.

-Prabhu S. Guptara, Retired Professor and Publisher, Salt Desert Media Group UK

This book is a must-read for all who are engaging Hindu people around the world. It makes a wonderful contribution to the contextual methodologies employed to effectively communicate the gospel.

-Godfrey Harold, Principal, Cape Town Baptist Seminary, South Africa
