Christians and Missionaries in India: Cross-Cultural Communication since 1500 de Robert Eric Frykenberg

Christians and Missionaries in India: Cross-Cultural Communication since 1500

Editat de Robert Eric Frykenberg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mar 2003
The assumption that Christianity in India is nothing more than a European, western, or colonial imposition is open to challenge. Those who now think and write about India are often not aware that Christianity is a non-western religion, that in India this has always been so, and that there are now more Christians in Africa and Asia than in the West. Recognizing that more understanding of the separate histories and cultures of the many Christian communities in India will be needed before a truly comprehensive history of Christianity in India can be written, this volume addresses particular aspects of cultural contact, with special reference to caste, conversion, and colonialism. Subjects addressed range from Sanskrit grammar to populist Pentecostalism, Urdu polemics and Tamil poetry.
