Overview

"English summary: The 'Christian Patriot' (Madras/Chennai 1890-1929) - a journal ""owned and conducted entirely"" by Indian Christians - represents a new class of documents for the study of the history of World Christianity. This weekly understood itself as mouth piece of the South Indian Protestant community ""as a whole"" and tried to assert their independent voice in the colonial public sphere. ""Christian in tone and patriotic in its aims"", it criticized both missionary paternalism and Hindu fundamentalism. At the same time, the 'Christian Patriot' reflects a wide range of transregional networks of indigenous Christian elites in Asia and other regions and colonial societies. Thus, this study contributes to a new understanding of Christian globality around 1910. The book includes an English summary. German description: Der 'Christian Patriot. A Journal of Social and Religious Progress' existierte von 1890 bis 1929 und verstand sich als ""Sprachrohr"" der indisch-protestantischen Gemeinschaft Sudindiens. Das Blatt befand sich in ""alleinigem"" Besitz indischer Christen. Als solches eroffnet es ganz neue Perspektiven auf die indische und globale Christentumsgeschichte. Das Journal grenzte sich sowohl vom Paternalismus der euroamerikanischen Missionare wie von hindu-fundamentalistischen Tendenzen in der indischen Nationalbewegung ab. Dabei war es bestrebt, der Stimme indischer Christen als eigenstandiger Grosse in der kolonialen Offentlichkeit des Landes Gehor zu verschaffen. Zugleich werden im Spiegel des 'Christian Patriot' transregionale Netzwerke indigen-christlicher Eliten in Asien und anderen Regionen und Kolonialgesellschaften sichtbar. Diese tragen zu einem neuen Verstandnis christlicher Globalitat um 1910 bei."
