Journeying in Faith, Hope, Love and Unity: Indian Christian Conversations is an important addition to the discussions on Christian faith and practice in the Indian context. The Pauline triad, "faith, hope and love," with an addition to "unity" is deliberated from Biblical, Ministerial, History-Missional, Religio-Philosophical, and Theological perspectives. This volume's multi-disciplinary perspectives and contextual grounding are what set it apart.
