A Voice for Justice

Preaching & Worship

“Here at Princeton, I have never assigned a sermon as reading material for any of my religion courses--until, that is, I read A Voice for Justice. This year I'll use two, one on interreligious hospitality and the other on immigration. For unblinkered and unblinking preaching in the Reformed tradition, addressing the tumult and turmoil of America today, Kaper-Dale gets to the heart of the issues, prophetically.”

Base Ecumenism

Theology

“as a path-breaker extraordinaire.”

Christian Identity and Dalit Religion in Hindu India, 1868-1947

History & Biography

“An exemplary case study and a good deal more. . . . A valuable resource for theory and methodology, much needed in a field where portable models are still in short supply. Working archivally in America and ethnographically in India, Bauman stands at the point of tangency between disciplines, crafting an approach that illuminates agency, indigenous and exogenous, in ways that are neither one-sidedly 'top down' nor 'bottom up.' His contribution to ongoing debates about 'conversion' will be discussed for years to come.”

Christianity and Transforming States

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“While it cannot be gainsaid that Christians are frequently targeted for oppression in a variety of global contexts, the opposite is also sadly true: Christians can also become the oppressors of persons and peoples they regard as deviant or repugnant, even those whose only fault is being Christian differently. David Emmanuel Singh's essay collection evinces a badly needed balance between this double-sided truth. Euro-inclusive without being Euro-exclusive, the book documents some of the lesser-known struggles of Global South and Global North Christians--Catholic and Orthodox, Protestant and Pentecostal--against one ideological juggernaut or another (Hindu[tva]ization or Islamicization, Sinicization, or Secularization, to mention but a few of the many discussed). A serious book for perilous times, argued with rigor and vigor. I recommend it highly.”

Culture, Religion and Home-making in and Beyond South Asia

World Religions

“A book so rich in theory and methodology, illuminated by case studies, will appeal to a broad readership far beyond South Asia, just as the title claims.”

Journeys of Asian Diaspora

Evangelism & Missions

“In world Christianity studies, Christianity's diffusion is often thought of as a polycentric, diasporic process, each scattered community interlinked with others in a mutually transformative encounter. In diaspora studies, Asia's role in Christianity's global spread seems understudied. Journeys of Asian Diaspora represents a significant leap forward. A timely resource, it will prove helpful as we scramble to catch up with the latest chapters of the Christian travel story.”
