Antony Mecherry S.J. brings to the fore a recently identified
16th-century treatise on 'Nestorianism', written by Francisco Ros
S.J. (1559-1624), a Catalonian from the Jesuit province of Aragon.
He successfully promoted the mission praxis of accommodatio
primarily among the Saint Thomas Christians of early modern Malabar
in South India. This newly discovered first treatise composed by
Ros, a Latin missionary, represents the initial phase of his
mission as a polemicist in the making, who read the Syriac sources
of the Church of the East found in Malabar through a Catholic
theological lens. In addition to exploring the underlying conflicts
which emerged out of an unprecedented encounter of apparently
unlike theological and liturgical identities in the same mission
field of early modern India, this book provides the readers with a
historiographical critique against the backdrop of which the author
presents his analysis of the Rosian treatise.
