Missionary Perspectives On The Formation Of The Church In Nineteenth Century Tirunelveli

Overview

Essays written over a century by the missionaries in Tirunelveli, chiefly culled out from the SPG publications the Gospel Missionary, the Grain of Mustard Seed, the Mission Field and the Harvest Field, have been reproduced in this compendium. These sets of documents are seminal primary texts and a rich source of material for a better historical understanding of Protestant Christianity and the missions in Tirunelveli. The wide range of issues and concerns covered in this collection gives hope for further stimulating dialogue and is inspirational in challenging the deliberate assumptions and narratives of Christianity in India as a denationalising force wedded to a foreign religion and culture.
