India's Problem, Krishna or Christ

The work opens with a sweeping portrait of India’s geography—towering Himalayas, fertile plains fed by the Ganges, and a climate that ranges from perpetual snow to scorching tropical heat. It uses these vivid details to frame a deeper question: how might the ancient spiritual heritage embodied by Krishna engage with the message of Christ? The author treats the subcontinent not merely as a backdrop but as a living arena where history, culture, and faith intersect.

Drawing on a series of lectures delivered at leading theological schools, the author guides listeners through the complexities of missionary effort in a land where Hindu traditions dominate daily life. He explores the challenges of communicating Christian ideas amid entrenched customs, while also expressing a hopeful vision of dialogue and mutual enrichment. Listeners will come away with a clearer sense of why India occupies such a pivotal place in the conversation between East and West, and what the early stages of that encounter look like.
