Retelling the Story of Jesus: Through the Stories of People
Blending scholarship, pastoral concerns, social issues and experiments, the book is aimed to enhance appreciation of Jesus’ Gospel. Seeing retelling of Jesus’ story as important in the pluralistic cultural context of today, it focuses on retelling Jesus’ stories in India today. For the purpose, it delves into the Indian story-telling tradition and the Biblical legacy and didactics of retelling. It examines retelling the story of Jesus in the Syro-Malabar Church, the Malankara tradition and through modern media. It treats themes like the Christian mission and its interdisciplinary and inter-religious approaches, empowerment of Dalit Christians, Christian leadership in civil society and Christian engagement in mass media.
