This volume offers insights into the current ‘public-square’ debates on Indian Christianity.

It addresses complex and pertinent themes such as Dalit Indian Christianity, diasporic nationalism and conversion. The work will interest scholars and researchers of religious studies, Dalit and subaltern studies, modern Indian history, and politics.

Recenzii

‘[R]eveals tantalizing possibilities for the study of South Asian Christianities to contribute to, even rethink or reshape, any number of contemporary conversations in the study of religion and the humanities more broadly.’ — Anne E. Monius, Harvard Divinity School, Harvard University
‘[E]vidences that the question regarding how any religion — particularly Christianity — can, in Peter Beyer’s words, ‘be thought of or lived as a singular identity’ across the globe is being taken very seriously.’ — Rowena Robinson, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
"Constructing Indian Christianities is a volume
that has much to teach specialists and nonspecialists
alike. Among its many distinguishing
qualities, the most salutary aspect of the volume
is how the essays collectively foreground Dalit
experiences and concerns."
Mathew N. Schmalz, The College of the Holy Cross
Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies, Vol. 30 [2018], Art. 21

Descriere

By examining three interrelated questions — Who and what is an Indian Christian? Whose religion is Indian Christianity? Can Christianity be Indian? — this book draws attention to on-going ‘public square’ debates about Indian Christian ‘ownership’. Three interrelated issues are explored thematically: caste, culture and conversion, and possible contestations within these.
