Description

Christianity in India is a collaborative effort of Indian and Western scholars to reveal the contributions that Indian Christians have made to freedom, empowerment, and social change in their nation. It shows, via discussions of conversion, economic empowerment, and religious freedom, what will be lost to countless people, especially the poor and marginalized in India, if the Christian presence is suppressed because of persecution, which is seeing a dramatic rise under a Hindu-nationalist central government.
