Christ-Centred Hindu Community

Review of Disciple Making Among Hindus: Making Authentic Relationships Grow by Timothy Shultz (Pasadena: William Carey, 2016).

The title of this review will likely grate in the ears of many readers. ‘Christ-centred community’ you get; ‘Hindu community’ you also get.

Timothy Shultz would not be comfortable with that terminology but not for the reasons you might expect.
