Reviews
<br> Frykenberg succeeds wonderfully, with a book that is richly informative on countless aspects of Indian history quite apart from its contributions to Christianity. --Christian Century<br> Writing a history of Christianity in India in a single volume, even a volume as large as this one, is a daunting task...This book faces those challenges head-on with considerable success. ...This is the best single-volume history of Christianity in India written so far.--International Bulletin of Missionary Research<br> The breadth of [Frykenberg's] work is astounding. --Religious Studies Review<br> [T]his monumental undertaking further brings to public view how ancient, large, variegated, and vibrant a tradition is Christianity in India today. --Church History<br>
This is the best single-volume history of Christianity in India written so far. It is both genuinely Indo-centric and genuinely ecunemical. * John C. B. Webster, International Bulletin of Missionary Research * Frykenberg's amazing breadth of knowledge brings to life the complexity of India's Christian history ... I heartily recommend this book. * Timothy C. Tennent, Christianity Today * This is a committed book, arising out of lifelong experience and study. * Paul Jenkins, Social Sciences and Missions * [a] well-researched and winsightful book, authored by a highly regarded historian ... Frykenberg's book is truly a great contribution to the exploration of the complicated nature of religion and society in India. * Koji Kawashima, International Journal of Asian Studies * The singular merit of this book is that the author does not simply present a history of Christianity in India from the beginning to today. Instead, he elaborates the socio-economic, political and religious impact of Christianity on Indian society and vice versa...This informative, analytical and comprehensive work will contribute to understanding better Christianity in India. * Indunil Janakaratne Kodithuwakku Kankanamalage, Bibliographia Missionaria *
