Christianity has long been one of India's religious traditions, but
the extent to which the faith has influenced Indian society and
culture has never been well documented. This important book is the
first to do so. Here a group of historians, missiologists, and
religion scholars examines the fascinating but little known history
of missionary Christianity in India, showing how it has played a
significant role in the development of modern India at every level.
Chapters deal with the interaction between Christianity and India's
high culture, with aspects of conversion among tribal people and
outcasts beneath the hierarchy of Hindu society, and with the
development of Indian churches and their relation to the wider
culture.
