H. L. Richard is an independent researcher focused on the Hindu-Christian encounter. He has published numerous books and articles, including studies of key figures like Narayan Vaman Tilak (Following Jesus in the Hindu Context: The Intriguing Implications of N. V. Tilak's Life and Thought), Kalagara Subba Rao (Exploring the Depths of the Mystery of Christ: K. Subba Rao's Eclectic Praxis of Hindu Discipleship to Jesus), and R. C. Das (R. C. Das: Evangelical Prophet for Contextual Christianity).
H. L. Richard has keenly researched the response patterns of the
various communities of India to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The
reasons for the resistance of the upper-caste groups became his
pursuit. His concern to rethink Christianity led him to develop
full-length books and to interpret the significance of men such as
Narayan Vaman Tilak, R. C. Das, K. Subba Rao, and the works of many
Indian Christian theologians. I am glad that H. L. Richard leads
the Rethinking Forum in the USA and travels to build indigenous
followers of Christ outside the church in India. May God bless the
writings of H. L. Richard to benefit the search for discovering new
ways of kingdom growth in our religiously plural world. Siga Arles,

It is estimated that 86 percent of the Hindus of the world do not
personally know a Christian. This illustrates the desperate need to
take seriously our calling from God in His Word to do the hard-and
sometimes painful-work of reexamining how we express our faith to
people who are so different than us. The Rethinking Forum is
focused on that very process. This book should challenge your
thinking and stimulate you to action. Greg H. Parsons, Global
Director, US Center for World Mission
