About The Book: Raja Rammohun Roy’s The Precepts of Jesus: The Guide to Peace and Happiness (1820) distills the moral teachings of Christ into a concise, verse-by-verse compilation drawn from the four Gospels. Omitting miracles and doctrinal debates, Roy emphasizes Jesus’s core principles—love, compassion, forgiveness, humility, and nonviolence—as universal ethical guides. By presenting Christian ethics in clear, poetic English, he sought to bridge Eastern and Western spiritual traditions, making the message accessible to Hindu and Muslim audiences. This work reflects Roy’s commitment to interfaith harmony and rational religion, illustrating his belief that Jesus’s universal precepts could foster individual virtue and social well-being.
