Abstract
Man is a social animal and his behavioral characteristics are not confined to different regions but are universal. Being human means that man is influenced by greed, materialism and even moral failure. Very few missionaries understood the failings of man and addressed this aspect of the frailty of human nature. Reverend Eli Stanley Jones was one missionary who portray his incredible understanding of the spiritual, emotional and moral yearnings of humanity in general. He accepted and warmly welcomed all people from different faiths into his fold. His personality and works are a shining example of what he believed. He has written several books that take the reader to a higher level of understanding. He was inspired by Gandhian way of life and was even called pro-Indian by the British government. This paper portrays his life, his works and his concepts which were exhibited through his works.
