This book does not promise any breakthrough study as it was written keeping in mind to be a concise study material for the graduate level theology course.” (A. Jayakumar) The book consists of twenty chapters, discussing Christian history in India from the St. Thomas tradition until present day matters. It deals with Roman Catholic Christianity in India, Francis Xavier, Robert De Nobili, the relationship between the Portuguese and the Syrian Christians and the Synod of Diamper, the Tranquebar Mission, Christian Friedrich Schwartz and the Serampore Mission. It discusses caste and Christianity, mission and colonialism, Christianity and the National Independence Movement and women in Indian Christianity. Further topics are the medical and educational work of Christianity, the Church Union Movement and India’s contribution to the ecumenical movement, the emergence of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements, Indian Christian missionary organizations, Christianity in North East India and fundamentalism and conversion.Pages: 280engWith permission of the license/copyright holderIndian ChristianitySt. ThomascasteTranquebar MissionSerampore MissionNational Independence MovementwomenIntercultural and contextual theologiesMissiologyGlobal Church History and World ChristianityHistory of Christian missionsWorld ChristianityBook
