Christianity Made in India

History & Biography

“Roger Hedlund's Christianity Made in India is a stimulating compilation of essays on the array of indigenous expressions of the church that have emerged in India. It also provides glimpses of prominent prime movers. Among the thematic accents of the volume are the following: (1) Christianity's existence in localized formats in India long before its introduction to most of the West; (2) the church in India as an exuberant illustration of the translatability of the Christian faith into many discrete cultural representations; and (3) the medley of local (indigenous) expressions of Christianity in India as showcases of unity in diversity rather than isolated autonomisms. This highly readable collection on ecclesial origins and variety in the cultural kaleidoscope that is India should be of great service to the church on its errand to the world.”
