What is dr. stanley jones?

Dr. Stanley Jones (1884-1973) was an American missionary, theologian, and evangelist. He spent nearly 50 years of his life in India, where he became known as a friend and teacher to people of various religious and cultural backgrounds.

Jones was born in Maryland and attended Johns Hopkins University, where he earned a degree in economics. He felt called to ministry, however, and went on to study at Boston University School of Theology.

In 1907, Jones and his wife, Mabel Lossing Jones, became missionaries with the Methodist Episcopal Church and were sent to India. Over the years, Jones became known for his ability to bridge the divide between Christianity and other religions, particularly Hinduism.

Jones wrote numerous books on Christian mission and evangelism, including "The Christ of the Indian Road" and "The Unshakable Kingdom and the Unchanging Person." He also served as a delegate to the Universal Christian Conference on Life and Work in Stockholm in 1925 and the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh in 1937.

Jones' teachings and writings continue to influence Christian mission and interfaith dialogue today.
