In South India they believe their ancestors received the Gospel from the apostle Thomas. After that, the arrival of Christianity was sporadic, helped first by merchants and priests from the Middle East and from the fifteenth century by European merchants and missionaries who settled in India. The faith that took root was strongly influenced by local organizations and cultures; thus the Christians in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Goa are almost as different from each other as they are from their Hindu and Muslim counterparts, the tribal Christians of central and north-eastern India, and Dalit Christians all over the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by two of the country’s foremost theologians, Christianity in India traces the fascinating history of each of these communities, and descries the role of Christians in education, social services, multilingual publishing and the freedom struggle. The authors explain to non-Christians the tenets and rituals that bid the faithful, whether Catholic, Protestant or Orthodox-prayer, the Sunday service, baptism and marriage, the role of Jesus in daily life, Christians’ understanding of  other faiths-and examine the controversial issues of caste within Christianity and conversions from other faiths.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, we meet the more colourful personalities in the annals of Indian Christendom, such as Emperor Akbar, who essentially founded the North Indian Christian mission; Brahmabandhab Upadhyay, the swadeshi Catholic who helped Tagore found Santiniketan; and Begum Samru, who converted to Christianity as a widow in 1781 and established a church in Sardhana, which remains a pilgrimage centre for Catholics, Muslims and Hindus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first of its kind for the general reader, Christianity in India is a priceless compendium of history, theology, folklore and anecdote, to be relished and referenced by anyone curious about the Indian story and practice of one of the world’s major faiths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePREFACE\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Christians Gather\u003cbr\u003eWho is Jesus Christ?\u003cbr\u003eThe First Christians in India\u003cbr\u003eThe Second Spring in South India\u003cbr\u003eThe Western Coast, Akbar’s Mission and The Question of Conversion\u003cbr\u003eThe Third Spring: The Protestant Communities\u003cbr\u003eThe Fourth Spring: Dalit Christians of North India\u003cbr\u003eThe Fourth Spring Continues: Adivasis in the Church\u003cbr\u003eSmaller Christian Communities\u003cbr\u003eChristians in the Life of the Nation\u003cbr\u003eA Day in the Life of an Indian Christian\u003cbr\u003eThe Christian Mind and Soul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReferences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelect Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Leonard Fernando \/ Penguin\/Viking \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40776328609961,"sku":"14182","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/14182_1b90d2ac-a485-4d11-8668-78262d299fa3.jpg?v=1625568165"},{"product_id":"15194-messages-for-meditation","title":"Messages for Meditation","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: S Samuel Roberts\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: ISPCK\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2005\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 310\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8172148364\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMessages for Meditation provides church ministers, preachers and speakers to expound the Word in the right perspective.

In addition, it has also been expanded to cover important events and developments since 1990, including the important case affecting all Dalit Christians now before the Supreme Court.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition continues to set the history of the Dalit Christians within the context of the modern Dalit movement, to compare Christian and other Dalits on a variety of social indicators, and to maintain a balance between North and South India. Moreover, thanks to recent research on the subject, it now incorporates more information on Roman Catholic Dalits than earlier editions had been able to do.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEstimates vary on the proportion of Dalits who are Christians, but few would disagree that the majority of Christians in India are Dalits.

This third edition brings that history up to date by including developments which have occurred over the past two decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter a brief discussion of the origins of caste and untouchability, Webster traces this history from the late 19th century up to the present. He sees the Dalit movement and Dalit Christian history passing through three stages. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first was characterized by Dalit mass conversion, especially to Christianity. Then came the politics of numbers during the 1920s and 1930s when Dr. Ambedkar was the central Dalit figure. The third is the post-Independence stage of compensatory compensation during which Dalit Christians have come into their own as a distinct entity within the churches and Indian society at large. The book concludes with a chapter on the history of Christian theological reflection vis-à-vis the Dalits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface to the Third Edition\u003cbr\u003ePreface to the First Edition\u003cbr\u003ePreface to the Second Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.\tTHE DALIT BACKGROUND\u003cbr\u003eThe Origins of Caste and Untouchability\u003cbr\u003eThe Nineteenth Century\u003cbr\u003e       The Chuhras of the Punjab\u003cbr\u003e       The Chamars of North India\u003cbr\u003e       The Mahars of Central and Western India\u003cbr\u003e        The Paraiyar of South India\u003cbr\u003eConclusions\u003cbr\u003e2.\tTHE MASS MOVEMENTS\u003cbr\u003eThe Missionaries and the Dalits\u003cbr\u003eDalit Mass Movements\u003cbr\u003e        The Madiga Movement around Ongole\u003cbr\u003e         The Chuhra Movement in the Punjab\u003cbr\u003e        The Pattern of the Mass Movements\u003cbr\u003eThe Impact of the Mass Movements\u003cbr\u003e      The Churches\u003cbr\u003e      The Dalit Converts\u003cbr\u003e      The Dalit Movement\u003cbr\u003eConclusions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.\tTHE POLITICS OF NUMBERS\u003cbr\u003eThe Dalit Movement in the 1920s\u003cbr\u003eThe Simon Commission and Round Table Conferences\u003cbr\u003eGandhi’s Fast\u003cbr\u003eAmbedkar’s Declaration\u003cbr\u003eThe Provincial Governments\u003cbr\u003eConclusions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4.\tCOMENSATORY DISCRIMINATION\u003cbr\u003eThe Constitution and Compensatory Discrimination\u003cbr\u003eCompensatory Discrimination and its Dalit Beneficiaries\u003cbr\u003eReservations\u003cbr\u003eSocial Change\u003cbr\u003eSelf-Assertion and Political Action\u003cbr\u003eChristian Dalits and Compensatory and Churches\u003cbr\u003eSelf-Assertion and Political Action\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003e       \u003cbr\u003e5.\tGOOD NEWS FOR DALITS\u003cbr\u003eThe Mass Movements\u003cbr\u003eThe Politics of Numbers\u003cbr\u003eCompensatory Discrimination\u003cbr\u003eConclusions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlossary of Indian Terms\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"John C B Webster \/ ISPCK \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40776566964393,"sku":"25469","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/25469_bfd409da-4f35-4b8e-8887-6de6e2424989.jpg?v=1625527669"},{"product_id":"8530-jesus-lived-in-india-his-unknown-life-before-and-after-the-crucifixion","title":"Jesus Lived in India - His Unknown Life Before and After the Crucifixion","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Holger Kersten\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Penguin\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2001\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 264\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 0143028294\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compelling book presents irrefutable evidence that Jesus did indeed live in India, dying there in old age.
