Christianity Made in India

History & Biography

“"As one who spent some four decades in India studying and documenting the diversity, growth, and challenges of Christianity in India, Dr. Roger Hedlund is eminently suited to tell the story of Christianity in India, spanning over two thousand years. It is no easy task to carry out this historic survey in just about three hundred pages. This scholarly work is a mini companion to the Oxford Encyclopedia of South Asian Christianity, of which Dr. Hedlund was the chief editor. This book not only addresses the contribution of the mainline Protestant and Catholic missions in India, but also discusses how the indigenous churches and new Christian movements transformed the face of contemporary Christianity. A distinct feature of this book is on how the Christian missionaries engaged with the Hindu community in diverse times and contexts, which resulted in mutual edification and enrichment. “This book is meant not just for the Christian community of scholars, pastors and seminarians, but to every right-thinking individual who would like to explore and appreciate the rightful place of Christianity in the story of India over two millennia!””
