Schultz, Timothy. Disciple Making among Hindus: Making Authentic Relationships Grow. William Carey Library, 2016. Book, 154p. English. [Click here]
Abstract: Drawing on thirty years’ experience among Hindus, Timothy Shultz writes this book as a testimony of the kingdom of God growing in a non-Christian environment. Disciple Making among Hindus: Making Authentic Relationships Grow describes how Hindu people experience and respond to Jesus Christ. What are the core values and rhythms of their cultural world? What are the patterns of community and discipleship that help them draw closer to Jesus? Through moving personal stories, biblical reflection, and practical wisdom, Shultz introduces us to the centrality of family, the covenantal relationships that make up Hindu social life, and the yearning for authentic spiritual experience.
While this book will benefit anyone wanting to make disciples among Hindus, it is far more than a strategy of contextualization or a blueprint for successful evangelism. Read it to discover the beauty of Hindus as Jesus sees them—and the beauty of Jesus through Hindu eyes.
Award: Disciple Making among Hindus was named the Reader's Choice for Best Special Topic Discipleship book in 2018 by CatalystServices.org readers!

Abstract: "There has been increasing concern around the world for some years about the rise of Hindu fundamentalism or Hindutva.… Hindu terrorism against non-Hindutvan Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Dalit-Bahujans, and other groups, which has gradually increased since the 1980s, has received a massive boost as violence now has official support." Since 2014 the BJP fundamentalist party has held a parliamentary majority. The BJP combines religious, ethnic, and national fundamentalism with implications for the persecution of Christians and other religious groups. Also printed in Spanish and Portuguese.
