Towards Christo-Ethics in Context is creative and committed theological response to the rampant corruption that has haunted the public life of the Christian population in Nagaland. The book attempts to conceive a contextual Christian ethics that resonates from the living realities of the Naga people. An unsetting, yet stimulating reading.

This book engages in formulating a contextually relevant christology adopting the Ao concept of "O" which literally means "word" in the context of the Naga Christians' understanding of "Nagaland for Christ." This is a promising work which will help Naga Christians in envisioning and becoming truly committed followers of Jesus Christ. I applaud Bendangsashi for this invaluable contribution!
