This book, a sequel to Bishop Neill's A History of Christianity in India: The Beginnings to 1707, traces its subject from the death of Aurunzib to the so-called Indian Mutiny. The history of India since 1498 is of a tremendous confrontation of cultures and religions. Since 1757, the chief part in this confrontation has been played by Britain; and the Christian missionary enterprise, especially on its educational side, has had a very important role. This book depicts with admirable fairness all the various forms of Christian faith that have made contact with India. In this volume, the Indian voice in the controversy begins clearly to be heard. Bishop Neill had hoped it would be heard even more clearly in a third volume tracing the story to Independence in 1947 and the formation of the Church of South India in which he himself played so prominent a part. Unfortunately, he died before he could write it. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

As I’m from Tamil Nadu, and specifically, Tirunelveli, a small town of million people. This work is of great interest to me.
Rasa Clarinda's Grave is famous in Tirunelveli. Although, most are unfamiliar with background story.
The most famous is Bishop Robert Caldwell, who is popular among minds of Tamil People.
If you don't know anything about Indian Christianity, this would give you a good outline of it.
Robert Frykenberg’s work and others on South Indian Christianity draws same sources.
Who is the author?
Apparently, he was an academic, missionary. This is his, Magnus Opus work, contribution to History of Indian Christianity.
An Erudite, Scholarly work on Indian Christianity. This work is pretty much what there is to know about Indian Christianity.
Although, contemporary Indian Christianity from 1950-Present is missing.
The Work contains 18 Chapters, runs about 600 pages. I tried to post an outline, but it’s long.
What I like about this work?
This work is thorough.
Stephen’s Neil’s writing is clear, precise, paragraphs are clearly organized.
The outline is well-organized with sub-headings. It makes it easy for the reader.
Who’d I recommend this to?

Narrative of Christianity:
The main narrative of Christianity is that the World is fallen, i.e wickedness, turmoil, relationship failures, wars, pain, suffering.
Most of the it stems from human heart i.e pride, envy, gluttony, and et all deadly sins, some unknown.
Jesus of Nazareth, lived among his creation, and took all this away from the world. He is the cure for change of human heart.
Deus Vult,
