Throughout his life Gandhi conducted an ongoing dialogue with Christian believers and missionaries. Although as a faithful Hindu he was unwilling to accept Christian dogma, he recognized and revered Jesus as one of history's great prophets of nonviolence. This anthology of Gandhi's writings is enhanced by thoughtful responses from Christian scholars and students of Gandhi's teachings, highlighting his contributions to interreligious dialogue.

Advance Praise and Reviews

“A fascinating exploration of Gandhi’s engagement with the Christian faith, illuminating the intersections of faith, ethics, and nonviolence. Ellsberg’s scholarship makes this essential reading for students of religion and history alike.”— America Magazine

“Ellsberg presents Gandhi’s reflections with clarity and insight, offering a compelling perspective on interfaith understanding and moral courage.”— National Catholic Reporter

“A thoughtful, meticulously researched work that highlights Gandhi’s enduring spiritual and ethical legacy.”— The Tablet

"Gandhi's call for mutuality and the hospitality of receiving wisdom from other traditions has never been more urgent. Ellsbergs book has been for me an indispensable decades-long companion, and the release of this expanded edition is a source of joy. Both students and Gandhi scholars will find treasure herein." —Dr. John J. Thatamanil, Union Theological Seminary
