At a time when East and West stood at a profound crossroads of faith and understanding, E. Stanley Jones convened an extraordinary experiment — gathering men and women of all creeds, castes, and convictions around a figurative round table to speak openly about their personal experience of Christ. Christ at the Round Table chronicles these remarkable dialogues, set against the rich and spiritually complex backdrop of early twentieth-century India, where Jones served as a Methodist missionary of exceptional influence. The premise is disarmingly simple yet revolutionary: rather than arguing doctrine or demanding conversion, Jones invites each participant to share what Christ means to them personally, allowing a portrait of living faith to emerge organically from the voices of the many. Jones writes with the warmth of a pastor and the intellectual rigour of a theologian, weaving together testimonies from Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and agnostics into a tapestry that is at once deeply personal and universally resonant. His prose carries a quiet conviction that transcends denominational boundaries, presenting Christ not as the property of Western Christendom but as a transformative presence encountered across the full breadth of human experience. A landmark work of interfaith engagement and missionary literature, this volume poses a question that continues to echo long after the final page: what happens when Christ is allowed to speak for Himself?
