Reviews

`Review from previous edition Frykenberg succeeds wonderfully, with a book that is richly informative on countless aspects of Indian history quite apart from its contributions to the study of Christianity.'
Philip Jenkins, Christian Century, [d 05/05/2009]
`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... 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
