Reviews

“This book […] contributes to [a] broader scholarly effort to understand the reciprocity between global processes and local affairs in specific historical moments. The central theme revolves around “missionary enchantment” in the Indian subcontinent between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. […] Understanding “enchantment,” which is deeply subjective and experiential, poses significant challenges when attempting to interpret it across vastly different cultural and historical con­texts. The book shows how missionaries navigated this challenge through vari­ous strategies, revealing the inherent difficulty in establishing shared meaning and genuine understanding of such experiences.” - Haila Manteghi, University of Muenster, Germany in Mission Studies
