An Analysis of Christian Failings in Communicating Christ to Hindus, with Suggestions Towards Improvements

Living Water and Indian Bowl delves into the complex dynamics of Christian evangelism in India, specifically focusing on the communication barriers between Christians and Hindus. Dayanand Bharati offers a thorough analysis of why Christian efforts have often fallen short in effectively conveying the message of Christ to the Hindu population.

The book begins with an exploration of the Hindu worldview, emphasizing the cultural, social, and religious intricacies that shape Hindu beliefs and practices. Bharati critiques the traditional Western approach to evangelism in India, which often neglects the significance of Hindu dharma and cultural identity. He argues that many Christian missionaries fail to understand the fundamental aspects of Hindu life, leading to a disconnect between the message of the Gospel and the lived experiences of Hindus.

This book is a call for a paradigm shift in Christian evangelism in India. It challenges readers to rethink their approach to communicating the Gospel, urging them to develop a deeper understanding of Hindu culture and to demonstrate the love and teachings of Christ through practical spirituality. This revised edition, tailored for an American audience, aims to foster greater cultural sensitivity and effectiveness in Christian missionary work in India.
