Opis

"The Snake God" is a humorous Christian conversion story set in the fag end of British Indian rule. James Powell is an officer in his Majesties Government of India, a die hard imperialist whose stiff upper lip takes a beating every time he sees the Hindu landlord praying to a snake. He fails to understand why would anyone pray to a snake. He introduces the landlord to Christianity. Bill Moore is the pastor in the local church who patiently tells the story of Christ to the Hindu landlord knowing full well that the latter was pretending to be interested in Christ. He is okay with that. At least the landlord is listening to the story of Christ. He believes that Jesus will do the rest and make the landlord a believer. The landlord is a die hard Hindu who prays to the snake god. He pretends to be interested in Christianity not because he believes in Christ, but because he wants to humor the British officers who have the power to make him richer. He goes to church and listens to the pastors story of Christ. He does not know that subconsciously he is moving away from the Snake God and coming closer to Christ. Unfortunately fate has other things in store for him. Read on
