When a form of Christianity from one corner of the world encounters
the religion and culture of another, new and distinctive forms of
the faith result. In this volume Chad Bauman considers one such
cultural context -- colonial Chhattisgarh in north central India.
In his study Bauman focuses on the interaction of three groups:
Hindus from the low-caste Satnami community, Satnami converts to
Christianity, and the American missionaries who worked with them.
Informed by archival snooping and ethnographic fieldwork, the book
reveals the emergence of a unique Satnami-Christian identity. As
Bauman shows, preexisting structures of thought, belief, behavior,
and more altered this emerging identity in significant ways,
thereby creating a distinct regional Christianity.
