- Summary:
- This historical narrative of Protestantism in India examines responses by Tamil-speaking Hindus, Muslims, and Catholics to the evangelical Christianity introduced in the country by German Pietists. Drawing on concrete historical analysis and Tamil writings and archival materials, D. Dennis Hudson reveals the subtle and complex ideas about faith expressed by Tamil evangelicals when they found themselves opposing new ideas from Protestant Europe. More than a record of an important but little known period of religious history, this volume also raises significant questions about the relation of faith and culture.
