The Christ of the Indian Road is a seminal work on Christian missions and interreligious dialogue in early 20th-century India. Written by the renowned missionary E. Stanley Jones, the book explores the profound impact of Jesus Christ within the context of Indian culture and spirituality. Jones argues for a crucial distinction between Western cultural Christianity and the person of Jesus Himself, suggesting that the figure of Christ transcends national and institutional boundaries.

Through personal anecdotes and theological reflection, the author demonstrates how Jesus can be understood and embraced by the people of India on their own terms, without the baggage of Western colonialism. The text emphasizes a Christ-centered approach that values simplicity, sincerity, and direct spiritual experience over dogma. This work significantly influenced the movement toward the indigenization of Christianity in Asia and continues to be a vital resource for understanding missionary history, global Christianity, and the complex intersection of faith and culture. The Christ of the Indian Road remains a classic testament to the power of cross-cultural religious engagement and the universal appeal of the Christian message.
