India's Problem, Krishna or Christ

by John P. Jones

About 6 h 28 min of reading63 chapters

India's Problem, Krishna or Christ, published in 1903, grew from lectures given at Andover Theological Seminary by John P. Jones, an American missionary in South India. Jones describes the land and people of India, its economic and social life, schools and government, then surveys the religions found there, Judaism, Islam, the Parsis, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and above all Hinduism, which he compares point by point with Christianity in its aims, means and ideals. Later chapters discuss the methods and results of missions and the life of Indian Christians. It is frankly a missionary's argument, though grounded in long observation. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
