About this book

India, Its Life and Thought is a missionary survey of Indian religion and society by John Peter Jones (1847-1916), the American Congregationalist missionary who served in the Tamil-speaking Madurai mission of South India for more than three decades from 1878 onward. Jones was associated with the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions and produced a series of books that drew on his long South Indian residence to present Hindu religious life, caste, and social institutions to Western Christian audiences. The book covers Hindu philosophical schools, popular religion, the position of women, the caste system, and what Jones saw as the points of contact and contrast between Hindu and Christian thought. It is a primary source for early twentieth-century American Protestant missionary writing on India.
