Reviews

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*

...Those who wish to understand the intricate complexities of religious change in modern India will find Robert Frykenberg's scholarly perceptions deeply instructive and richly rewarding. Is Christianity an Indian religion? Read this book and you may change your mind.
*Brian Stanley, Times Literary Supplement,*

...this book, an extensive study of Christianity in India from beginnings to present, is timely. In more than 500 densely packed...pages, it considers Christianity's status and fortunes-good and ill-on the subcontinent.
*Leo Bowder Church Times*

an individual treasury of insights, both into Christianity in India and into the manifold problems of "acculturation"in a globalised world.
*David Goodall The Tablet*

A book in this series is a major event
*Dan O'Connor, Expository Times*

[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*

This is a committed book, arising out of lifelong experience and study.
