From the preface: `Daniel Thambyrajah Niles is an Asian, a Ceylonese by birth and residence (though he spends much time in other parts of the world) and a Tamil by race. He speaks English superbly, but it is not his native tongue. He is heir to twenty centuries of Western Christianity only in that he is a great-grandson of Nathaniel Niles, who was baptized in 1821 as the first Jaffna Tamil convert of missionaries sent out by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. In one particular he coincides with his predecessors in the lectureship, as this volume will suggest: he is a famous preacher, better known in Asia and Europe than in America.' These `were not lectures in comparative religion, as the chapter headings might seem to indicate. Rather, as the lectures proceeded, both a vaster and a more precise picture of Christianity emerged: Christianity in its encounter with the other major religions of the world, but also Christianity in its essence and its uniqueness. And at the very center of the stage of the world emerged the picture of Christ.' A Methodist minister, Dr. Niles was executive secretary of the Department of Evangelism of the World Council of Churches and chairman of the World Student Christian Federation.
