Reviews

"""All in all, the book reflects the struggles of the Hindi Christians to be Hindi, Indian, and Christian. It opens up for us the great but largely unnoticed world of Christian writing in the Hindi language. The book is an absolute must for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in Indian Christianity and interreligious studies."" - Jesudas Athyal, Religious Studies Review"


This ground-breaking and wide-ranging scholarly work on Hindi Christian literature provides a greatly overdue and much needed investigation into the articulation of Christian faith in North India, where over half a billion people speak Hindi. In a study that will have significant implications for the study of religion in general, Rakesh Peter-Dass deftly probes the complicated interconnections between language, social context, history and audience to provide an account of regional Christianity that is both innovative and persuasive. Arun W. Jones, Emory University, USA
