(Possible duplicate) Letters To Parsi

Author(s):
Letters explaining Christianity and the Bible to a student from Indonesia
This remarkable book presents the Bible through a unique epistolary format, consisting of letters exchanged between Roger, a Western Christian guide, and Parsi, a student from Indonesia discovering Christianity for the first time. Originally published in 1950, this work bridges cultural and religious divides by making scripture accessible and meaningful to those seeking to understand Christian faith and practice. Rather than offering dry theological commentary, the letters capture genuine dialogue about biblical meaning and its relevance to daily life and worldly concerns. Roger emphasizes that Christianity is fundamentally historical—rooted in actual events and ideas that shaped nations and continue to influence our world today. The correspondence focuses on Mark's Gospel, exploring how its message challenges worldly values and calls readers to engage both heart and mind in understanding faith. This publication matters because it demonstrates how personal experience and intellectual understanding must work together, and how biblical wisdom speaks urgently to the ideological struggles of nations. The book invites readers into an intimate conversation about faith, making ancient religious texts feel contemporary and vital for those navigating questions of belief, purpose, and moral action in an uncertain world.
