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