Building Bridges: From Asian Faiths to Jesus in the Gospels

In an age of religious confrontation, rationalism, and individualism, this book seeks to build bridges of mutual respect between Christians and Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Muslims. They are all encouraged to examine the truths in their scriptures and from their founders, in order to awaken their desire to read the Gospels and understand their sinful predicament. As they come to know who Jesus is and why he came, they are invited to accept his call to faith and discipleship. Special attention is given to the communicative power of poetry in the Asian context.
