E. Stanley Jones Boeken

E. Stanley Jones delves into the essence of prayer, emphasizing its role in shaping individuals to live by principles and decisions rather than fleeting emotions. The book presents prayer as both an act and an enduring attitude. Jones, a prominent Methodist missionary and theologian, is noted for his interreligious dialogues in India and his connections with influential figures like Gandhi and the Nehru family. His experiences challenge Western missionaries to respect and understand Indian culture and aspirations during the British Raj.

In this insightful and deeply personal account, Jones reflects on his friendship with Gandhi and presents his own interpretation of the Mahatma's life and legacy. He explores Gandhi's ideas on nonviolence, religious tolerance, and self-discipline and sheds light on the spiritual roots of his political activism.

What does it mean to evangelize ethically in a multicultural climate? Following his successful Evangelism after Christendom, Bryan Stone addresses reasons evangelism often fails and explains how it can become distorted as a Christian practice. Stone urges us to consider a new approach, arguing for evangelism as a work of imagination and a witness to beauty rather than a crass effort to compete for converts in pluralistic contexts. He shows that the way we lead our lives as Christians is the most meaningful tool of evangelism in today's rapidly changing world.
