For scholars and readers interested in Indian Christianity

Challenges misconceptions of Christianity's colonial ties

You will gain a deeper understanding of India's Christian history

This book offers a fresh perspective on Christianity's roots in India, highlighting local influences over colonial narratives.

This interesting volume challenges the long-held assumption that Christianity in India is nothing but a colonial or Western imposition. Leading experts here chronicle the histories and cultures of India's many Christian communities and show that local Indian leaders were the real agents of religious change in the subcontinent. These chapters range widely over various facets of Indian society and its religious developments. Of crucial importance is the fact that in exploring their subjects the contributors take pains to avoid the Eurocentric nature of most studies of India and represent Christianity from a genuinely Indocentric perspective. The result is an entirely new vista from which to view the history, features, and influence of Indian Christianity. Contributors: Peter B. Andersen Michael Bergunder Marine Carrin Penelope Carson Gunnel Cederl
