Concise Encyclopedia of Christianity in India

Concise Encyclopedia of Christianity in India

Author: Anonymous

Jnana-Deepa Vidyapeeth, Pune, has embarked on a significant journey to chronicle the story of Christianity in India—a narrative that has a clear starting point but no defined end. This comprehensive work explores the Catholic Christian traditions in India, their relationships with other Christian denominations, and their impact on individuals and communities throughout the nation.

The narrative also highlights Christianity's outreach to other religions and reflects on the contributions of thinkers and mystics from diverse traditions. The socio-political movements in the Indian subcontinent have had a profound influence on Christianity, and vice-versa, shaping this unique discourse.

Dialogue rather than conflict defines the tone of the book, which sheds light on how Christianity, although occupying a small but significant space in India’s religious, cultural, and political landscape, has shaped the national psyche. However, its contributions have not always been visible to the wider society or to other traditions. This encyclopedia is a step towards making that visibility more prominent.
